marry a weak waist

When it was rainy days, Luo Tian held a banquet at home in the name of this, and invited several adults to have wine. At the banquet, there were either willow palace eyebrows or peach blossom faces. Several adults nestled against the red and green. Yu felt that it was a bit dull, so he stayed home until the banquet was over.

As soon as he entered the gate of the house, he heard the young servant whispering in his ear: "My wife is coming home in the afternoon."

Meng Yu's eyes were red from eating, and she glanced at the gate of the East Garden with her half-drunk eyes, and then went to the West Garden.As soon as she entered Yinlian's room, she saw Yinlian holding the child playing under the lamp, shaking a golden step to tease him, smacking her tongue, and the child giggling.

Surrounded by bright lights, reflecting the mother and son, there is a sense of stability at home.Meng Yu walked over slowly with her arms scissored, and the nurse took the child and went out.Yin Lian got up and greeted the girl to bring tea, and walked back with a smile, "Have you had too much wine?"

"I didn't eat much." Meng Yu fell on the couch with her head up, her arms behind her head as a pillow, and she smiled and watched her sit next to her, "You are more and more like a mother, with kind eyebrows and good intentions, and you have a different charm than before. .”

Yinlian smiled and said nothing, and waited for the girl to bring tea, she waved the embroidered handkerchief, drove everyone out, blew the tea, and put it beside Meng Yu, "Madam came here in the afternoon, and told me something talk."

As soon as Meng Yu was mentioned, he closed his eyes and smiled leisurely, "It's really weird. I came back from Yanzhou yesterday, and I haven't seen her yet, but she was busy running around. What did she say to you? Did you say that she Where did you sleep?"

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he insisted on asking as if he was unwilling to give up.Unexpectedly, Yinlian was not used to him this time, and said bluntly: "I told you, she said she went to Qingyu Garden to borrow a night."

The fire stick on the kang table turned abruptly, Meng Yu sat up, was silent for a while, swept his sleeves, and swept a bowl of hot tea to the ground, and the tea bowl fell to pieces.He smiled, his lips trembling, "She actually said it outright."

It made Yinlian tremble, and quickly forced herself to calm down, squatting on the ground to pick up the blue and white fragments on the ground, "You can't stop my wife until now. She is determined to talk to that Mr. Dong." You have been together for a long time, and you are a husband and wife, why bother to stay and stay and stay to become an enmity? As the saying goes, there is always a banquet in the world. Two people, whether they live or die, there is always a time to end, and you can’t force it. of."

This remark aroused Meng Yu's anger, and she went up to grab her arm in two steps and lifted her up, "Who taught you this? It was her? Or do you think that if she leaves, you can be a wife? You'd better Don't have such unreasonable thoughts, even if she leaves, you can't be a wife!"

Yin Lian's arm hurt from being pinched by him, but she didn't frown. She looked at him closely for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't think so, I just want to be by your side, it doesn't matter if I'm a wife or not."

Meng Yu nodded with a sneer, let go of her hands and sat back on the couch, "That's why she asked you to persuade me."

"I also want to persuade you." Yinlian held the fragments and stood in the shadow of the lamp, "Meng Yu, your fate is over, even if you don't want to admit it, it's true. At that time, you locked up your wife, Mr. Dong They also went back to Beijing, and the result? Didn’t they have to get together again? What about you? You and your wife are under the same roof day and night. In the past, before Master Dong appeared? How do you distinguish yourself?"

The wind in the lingering corridor whimpered outside the window, as if someone was walking lightly from the moonlight with a knife in hand.Yinlian Dan pursed her lips lightly, slashing every word, calmly and cruelly, "When I lived in Yunsheng Lane, you would tell me about my wife when you came. But have you ever told her those words? Never. Because You dare not. You are afraid that people will see your heart clearly, and you are afraid that your sincerity will be hurt.”

Meng Yu leaned on the couch with her knees on her back, her gaze gradually shifted, and she lowered her head. Feeling a fierce soreness in her nasal cavity, she raised her hand and rubbed it, and smiled disdainfully, "You think you know me well?"

"Maybe I guessed randomly." Yinlian also smiled, went outside the screen and threw the broken porcelain pieces in the corner, and walked in again, "I only know that many things are often missed for a lifetime because of temporary timidity."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Yinlian walked up to him and knelt down, shaking his knees with her hand, a little begging, "Let the wife go, write her a letter of divorce. You and me, we have a child, we can spend a lifetime together. But she has nothing but this opportunity in front of her. Although the old lady Mei is her close relative, you know better than me how they treat her. And your husband, you also know how you treat her. We teamed up to destroy her, and maybe I also hurt her because of my selfish love for children. Meng Yu, brother Yu, let her go. She doesn't owe us anything. It's already over."

The sky was cloudy outside the window, a ray of floating clouds crossed the moon hook, the moon seemed to be strangled by it, and it was still being strangled.Meng Yu was silent on the couch for half an hour, not knowing what she was thinking, and Yin Lian didn't dare to urge her.Later, the baby was nursed again and was about to go to sleep. The nurse brought her to Yin Lian to take a look at her, and then let her go again. The lights should be turned off in this room to sleep.

But Meng Yu stood up at this moment, asked the girl for a lantern, and went out holding it up.Going to the East Garden, passing the house where Mengyu lived before, Meng Yu stopped for a moment at the cave gate, the courtyard was pitch-black, only a little moonlight and the swaying of the phoenix tree.

From time to time, I walked to Yuanpuju, Meng Tiao was still awake, and the lights in the house were still on.Meng Yu went to the corridor and heard her still talking to Caiyi. The voices of the master and servant were drizzling, like a light rain falling on a thick spring night, dense and dense, with a kind of desolate tranquility.

He went in with a lamp, they were in the bedroom, and he opened the curtain to enter the bedroom.Meng Tiao was sitting cross-legged on the couch in her pajamas, wearing a dark purple gown and a lilac-colored skirt, picking up the wick with a silver hairpin, when she saw him coming, she was a little startled.

Caiyi was making the bed, and left when it was done.But she didn't dare to go back to the room, she was worried, she was afraid that if Meng Yu got angry and locked Meng Yu up again, she would have to guard there.So he turned around in the outer room and sat down on the couch.Straighten your ears to listen, the room is suddenly quiet.

Mengyu peeped at Meng Yu's face secretly, and guessed that Yinlian had told him, and she had nothing to say, just waiting for him to say.But he didn't speak, he blew the lantern and left it wherever he wanted, sat down and leaned against the high pillow, raised the back of one hand to rest on his forehead, and remained silent for a long time.

"Do you want supper?" Meng Tiao had no choice but to strike up a conversation, "If you want to eat, ask Cai Yi to come to the kitchen and say something."

Meng Yu shook her head, "Let's have a cup of tea."

"I heard it!" Before Meng Yao could shout, Cai Yi shouted outside first, and went outside to tinkle the stove to make tea.

Not long after the tea was served, Meng Tiao picked up the silver hairpin and lit the candle a little brighter.Meng Yu felt that she was doing this to reflect each other's faces, so that no one could escape or dodge.

He sipped his tea and smiled, "You..." There was another silence.

Meng Tiao then answered, "I slept in Qingyu Garden last night, did Yinlian tell you?"

She smiled to herself, lowered her eyes and did not look at him, "I can't turn back now. If you are going to lock me up again, I'm afraid I will only have a dead end. This is not a good idea right now. , Zhang Ping will not rely on you to lock me again. Even if your name is right, you are still an official in the court. You know, no matter what name is right, as long as people want to punish you, there is a way. So you can no longer be locked up like last time me."

She propped her arms on the kang table, one shoulder was slightly tilted, and she was extremely calm, "Otherwise, if you don't let it go or lock it, the three of us will grind it slowly. After a lifetime of grinding, we will lose everything, and no one will be good. "

Speaking of this section, she gave a wretched smile, her Mimi face looking depressed in the candlelight.Meng Yu also smiled suddenly, "You are so calm, you seem to have been so calm all your life."

Meng Tiao didn't refute, turned her face away from the window, the night wind blows through the green screen, and rushes towards her face.

"I'm not as bad as you said." Meng Yu also leaned on the kang table, stretched out a finger and wiped the mouth of the cup, "Just now Yinlian told me, you want me to write a divorce letter? I was very angry at first. , she was so angry that she smashed a tea bowl. But she said later, you don’t owe us anything. Mother, Mei Qing, and me and her, you don’t owe us anything, but we are robbing you. Let’s think about it, she Yes."

Mengyu turned around and found that he was crying, so she touched an embroidered handkerchief on the couch and passed it over, "Yinlian is a girl with a solid heart, she naturally thinks so. But the things I did are the things we talked about a long time ago. Well, I have also gained a lot of benefits, and I have not suffered any disadvantages from consensual things."

"Are you willing?" Meng Yu raised her eyebrows, shed a tear, and shook her head with a smile, "You are not, you just have no other choice. When you follow your mother, you listen to her, and when you follow me, you listen to mine." .”

"That's all in the past, what's the point of mentioning it?" Meng Tiao was a little ashamed, she didn't know who it was for, maybe it was for herself.She smiled and lowered her face.

Meng Yu was silent for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief, "You are so determined this time, probably what you really want. Then I promise you."

Mengyu raised his face, showing a genuine smile, "Really?" Some doubts appeared in Xu's eyes again, "Why are you so happy this time?"

Meng Yu stared at her for a long time in the light of the lamp, then nodded, "What can I do if I'm not happy? Could it be that we were wasting each other's life forever? Yinlian is right. We've been wasting me for the past few years. It's not like we didn't have chances. We had a lot of opportunities In front of us, we have exhausted all opportunities. If we continue to waste, I am afraid that we will really fall into the situation of turning against each other."

As he spoke, he stood up holding the handkerchief, "Tomorrow I will draw up a divorce certificate and go to the yamen to remove your household registration. You ask the servants to take care of something to take with you, or ask Dong Mo to pick it up, or It's here to take you there, you can figure it out."

Meng Tiao stood up and sent him off, "My property is in the box. It was originally separated from you. It's easy to handle, but those people on the farm still followed me. The other things are just some soft clothes, so it doesn't take much effort to pack them up." .The servants here, I only take the colorful clothes, I don’t want anything else.”

"Okay." Meng Yu went out with the lamp in hand, "Go in, it's cool and dewy."

He walked under the crabapple tree and looked back, Meng Yuan had closed the door.The shadow swam from the window of the outer room to the bedroom, and gradually became lighter, flutteringly embedded in the screen window of the bedroom.

Unexpectedly, it is so easy to sever ties with a person. A few words and a few documents can cut off half a lifetime of fate.He suddenly felt that it was worthwhile to exchange his heart for her lightness.He never said he loved her, but he thought that this was the most appropriate expression of his love for her.

His hand was also the last time she showed her concern for him.He held up the lantern to shine on the handkerchief, which was embroidered with endless wishful patterns with silver thread, reminding him of the lyrics in a song.

The next day Meng Yu went to the yamen as usual, leaving earlier than usual.He knew that Meng Yuan must have started to pack his luggage, and he was afraid that he would feel remorse again when he saw it.

Meng Tiao was also a little apprehensive, and waited tremblingly. At noon, the butler came into the room with a document, "Madam, the master asked to bring it to you. The master said he was busy at the Yamen, so he would not deliver it himself." coming."

Take a look, it is very complete, the seal that the yamen should have has not been left behind.The butler looked around in the room, stepped forward and gave a bow, "Madam, look at what needs to be packed, I'll ask the younger ones to carry it."

Meng Yu's heart finally fell into his stomach, and he spun onto the couch to drink tea, "I don't want any furniture, just my clothes and jewellery. I'll write a list, and you will ask someone to put me in a box, and turn around." Carry them away together."

"There are still a lot of materials in Curry, which are not used by my wife on weekdays. Let's put them together?"

"Well, put them all on, and put on all the gifts that people gave me on weekdays. By the way, I remember that year, Mrs. Zhang Mi gave me two fine jadeite bracelets. That color is old-fashioned, and it has been left there without wearing it, so you can find it for me."

The butler hurriedly went out to look for it, and Caiyi jumped in from the outside, "Oh, I just did the math, there are a lot of things to pack! It doesn't look like much, and it takes a lot of time to pack up, and there are my things. "

Mengyu teased her, "You moved here, and then you have to move to Mr. Hong's house. It's really troublesome."

Caiyi was blushing and clutching the curtain, "My wife will also move to Beijing in the future, isn't it troublesome?"

Speaking of this, Meng Yu jumped up, "Oh, Zhang Ping is still waiting for my letter, I didn't tell him! You are here to ask those women and girls to pack something, I will go to Qingyu Garden first one trip."

It's only been two days here, but the Qingyu Garden seems like a year.Dong Mochen got up to go to the chief secretary, and bumped into Meng Yu in the yard. He secretly peeped at him a few times, but couldn't see anything, so he continued to wait anxiously.

When I returned home at noon, I was still at the door when I heard someone shouting on the street: "Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping!"

But Liu Chaoru ran straight to the door from the street. Wearing ordinary clothes, he brushed aside passers-by, ran to the door and pulled Dong Mo's wrist breathlessly, "I have something I can't wait to tell you! Let's go, hurry up!" Come into your garden and speak."

Liu Chaoru has always behaved well, but suddenly he was in such a hurry, Dong Mo only thought that there was some bad news on the side of Yan Yunsi, so he immediately turned serious, and led him to the study, "My account here has just been handed over to the householder. The Ministry of Household Affairs is waiting for a letter from the Ministry of Household Affairs, did something happen to the Department of Salt Transportation? Or is there something wrong with Pang Yunfan in the county government?"

"The Department of Salt Transport has nothing to do. Pang Yunfan is in the county government. I asked him a few things about selling salt. He refused to admit it to death. I can't ask him anything for the time being. Think about it, matters that are at stake with his life. How could he say so easily?"

The two stepped into the study together, Dong Mo ordered the servant to watch tea, and invited Liu Chaoru to sit on the chair, "Take care of him, I have gone to Gongwen in Tai'an Prefecture, and asked the next adult to take care of the state affairs temporarily. Detain him here , defraud him, maybe you can defraud him of something."

Liu Chaoru nodded in response, and in a blink of an eye, he remembered something and started to smile, "I didn't come to you for this matter, but I have a secret story, you must be happy to hear it."

"What's the secret?" Dong Mo relaxed his mind, and his tone slowed down to laugh, "It's strange, you've also noticed some secret."

"I'm paying attention for you." Liu Chaoru shook his head, pretending to be mysterious, and waited for the servant to bring tea, sipped half a bowl before saying: "In the morning, Meng Yu asked the servant to take the letter written by himself. book, and come to the county government office to resolve the marriage with my wife."

Just as Dong Mo picked up the tea bowl, it was scalded unexpectedly, and he quickly put it down and asked, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true." Liu Chaoru rolled her eyes on him a few times, and then smiled, "What are you in a hurry for? Didn't you get married in Beijing? Your wife has left the Meng family, so you don't want to welcome her in." Be a concubine?"

Speaking of the non-existent marriage, Dong Mo lowered his expression and raised his eyebrows pretendingly, "Isn't it possible?"

"This is your business, so don't ask about it. It's just that my wife and I are relatives, so I have to persuade you. Now that you are engaged, don't provoke her and let go of the old grievances. If you really I mean, I just want to say one thing, don't let her down."

Dong Mo only smiled meaningfully at the other end, "You are too late."

After half a day, Liu Chaoruci will return home, and Dong Mo comes to the room.He saw Mengying walking through the door with his head held high and his chest held high. When he entered the door, he saw that he had jumped onto his desk.There happened to be a piece of sunlight on the desk, and it lay down and slept in it.

Xiechun chased it out from the small hall and called it, "Shadow, you broke the official document of the master, I can't see you hitting you!"

Seeing Dong Mo head-on, he smiled and blessed himself, turned his head in and brought out a few pieces of paper, "Look, my little girl picked it up under your bed in the morning to clean up, is it something important? It probably is. The cat was caught playing in it and thrown under the couch."

Probably in a good mood, Dong Mo didn't care when he heard it, he glanced at Mengying from afar, smiled and picked it up, walked to the small living room couch and sat down while watching.Turning around, his face became serious, "Where did you find it?"

"Under the couch in your bedroom."

Dong Mo flipped through it one after another, and after looking carefully, it turned out to be a bit of a contract. It was about Meng Yu's sale of private salt with several salt merchants in Tai'an Prefecture. Judging from the date of signing the contract, three transactions were signed successively. , including the [-] shi of salt that he knew, and later ordered [-] shi and [-] shi, all after he returned to Beijing.

Although the deed looks good, it doesn't have a seal, and the signatures of several salt merchants and Meng Yu seem to be written by one person.Dong Mo couldn't help raising his brows in doubt, and he was calming down, but he heard Xie Chun suddenly shouted: "Oh! The girl is here, why is she alone? The girl didn't follow?"

"I came alone in a sedan chair."

Dong Mo folded some of the deeds into the small study, and walked towards the door.Meng Tiao was also walking down the corridor, wearing a sandal-colored double-breasted jacket and a concubine-colored skirt.There is a half-height bun on the top of the head, and two Xifu Begonias are inserted into the head, but two bunches have been put down, one bunch is tied on the chest with a jade white ribbon, and the other bunch is tied around the back, as if it has not yet left the cabinet. girl dress up.

Seeing Dong Mo, his face turned red suddenly, as if he didn't dare to look at him, he glanced to the left, to the right, and finally landed on Xie Chun, "Miss, quickly hug me to have a look, I've got a big bag Here comes the red envelope."

"Look how polite the girl is."

Xie Chun smiled to herself and grabbed the skirt, leaving two people inside and outside the threshold facing each other.For some reason, Meng Yuan was embarrassed like a girl, twisted the bundle of hair on her chest, turned around and stretched her eyes and eyebrows in the yard, "It's such a good day, I still want to go down for a walk on the road, the side street is lively , it’s not easy to go... ai, ai, ai!"

The sky is indeed good, Yinger and swallows are playing on the branches, the wind is weak, and someone's piano and flute are sent from afar.

But before he finished speaking, he was dragged into the room by Dong Mo, pressed on the screen and kissed once.The kiss was articulate, and there was some dreamy rouge on her mouth, which was wet, wet, and flushed.He rubbed it with the back of his hand, and bit her lower lip again, his voice was rustling, filled with dry longing, "Why did you take two days to come? You didn't ask anyone to send me a message."

"Busy." Mengyu bit her lower lip, glanced away, glanced at his face, felt embarrassed again, and pushed his hand softly on his shoulder, "Go away, go away, you don't even have a cup of tea when you enter the door." Give it to eat, put people here, and my back hurts."

"Are you sick? Come and rub it for me." Dong Mo smiled, stroked her back, and pulled her into the screen.

The two were sitting at one end, Dong Mo casually opened the window, and a large area of ​​sunlight from the west poured in, rolling in a little smoke.It was a bit hot, and there was a thin layer of sweat floating on Dong Mo's forehead, which he could only see through the sunlight.Meng Tiao hurriedly asked for a handkerchief to apply to him, after applying it twice, she suddenly took his arm with a smile, folded her neck on his shoulder, and couldn't stop giggling.

Dong Mo tilted his face to look at her, his voice was like an oriole and his face was like jade, he laughed so hard that his heart felt as if feathers were being swept away, and the hand around her took advantage of the situation to pinch her waist, "I'll give you a break, and you'll be fine." So happy?"

Meng Tiao sat up awkwardly, "Who told you? Who is so fast-talking! They want to surprise you!"

"Shuwang." Dong Mo didn't hide anything, he pinched her face with a smile, "I'm sorry for him, I didn't know you wanted to hold back to surprise me."

Meng Tiao pouted and waved the handkerchief twice, "Forget it, Shuwang is protecting you." Then, thinking of something, he patted his hand on the skirt, "Oh, my mother and younger sister are probably the same. Got it! They must have gone over there to talk to me, but I came to you!"

"What's the matter, they couldn't find you, so naturally they left a message and went home."

Mengyu frowned lightly, and complained with a crooked face, "You don't know, I'm packing things at the other end. They go, and when they see those things, they have to dig a little here and take a little there. I'm not here, and the servants don't dare How to stop them. I should tell you when I go out."

It turned out that it was because of this that Dong Mo leaned on the window sill calmly, looked at her and smiled, "Don't be afraid, tell me what's missing, and I'll make it up for you." He raised his eyebrows at her and teased, "Pack up your things and get ready to move." Where are you going? Shuwang’s house? I remember that he still has an empty room there.”

Meng Yu turned around quickly, saw his smiling face knowingly asking questions, and knew that he was teasing her, so he secretly gritted his teeth and hated her, and said indifferently on his face, "Who wants to move to their house? Don't I have money? I'm here I rented a house on Luoshui Street. There are sixteen rooms in total. I am alone, even if I roll around, I can live there. I am going to buy a few more rooms for servants. Hey, you are in the government office, in the yamen For those who have confiscated the public, if there are cheap ones, you can look at them for me, and don’t want those who have committed crimes, just the family members of those people.”

Hearing that she was speaking clearly and clearly, as if she really had a good plan, Dong Mo hurriedly changed his expression, and leaned in front of him, "You really rented a house? Isn't my garden here big enough for you to live in?"

"Not good," Meng Yu looked down sadly, and wiped the veil lightly on his cheeks, "Not good. We are nameless and neither relative nor related. What is it if I come to live with you? Let outsiders know, It doesn't look like that either. Now that I'm retired, and my reputation is bad, don't tire you out anymore."

While speaking, he gave a sideways look sadly.Dong Mo understood, and immediately pushed her down on the couch, "Little liar, do you still want to lie to me?"

Immediately, a piece of jade beads Qingxiao overflowed from the window, accompanied by the singing of warblers on the branches, and the return of cuckoos.
