marry a weak waist
Chapter 60
It has not been two days since Mengyu moved to Qingyu Garden, the weather has turned hot, and for several days in a row, gold and stone flow, gold and black are like fire, and Pian Mengying is familiar with her, so she loves to cling to her.She sits there for a while, Mengying will come and sleep on her skirt, put her head on her hand, asking her to touch it.
Sometimes Mengtiao was so hot that he was so hot that he patted it on the head lightly, "Go, go, don't cling to me, it's hot in summer, you cover me like a big sweater, how can I bear it? "
With a "meow", Mengying jumped out of the window in the blink of an eye and disappeared.Meng Yu glanced out of the window, "Hey, you're so angry."
"Follow it's sister." Dong Mo came from the small study, holding a stack of papers in his hand.
It was late in the evening, just after dinner, my stomach was melting, my internal organs were working hard, and I felt a little weak and weak.Meng Tiao wished that it was the cat, who seemed to be not afraid of the heat, taking a nap on the railing covered by the setting sun.
Meng Tiao didn't pay attention to the things in his hands, she gave him a dry look, pouted her lips in annoyance, the fan was rustling, "It's so hot today! It doesn't want to rain, really .”
The sound of cicadas filled the courtyard, and the few arrow bamboos in front of the cave didn't move, and there wasn't even a breath of wind.
"It's probably going to rain in the night, bear with it, and it will cool off after the rain." At this time, the ice on the market has not been made yet, and Dong Mo is sweating a lot, so he dare not touch her, but Sit down on the opposite couch, and hand her the paper in your hand, "Look at this, did you drop it in this room?"
Meng Tiao picked it up and took a look, startled, "Where did I find it? When did it fall out, I completely forgot!"
It was the deeds copied by Pang Yunfan. Meng Tiao was busy moving, and had already forgotten these things to Java.Dong Mo laughed and said, "Young girl found it under the couch in the bedroom. I think it must have been that night, I tore your clothes and dropped them from you. It was too dark at that time, so I didn't pay attention."
Whether it was the darkness or some other reason, only God knows. Thinking of that chaotic night, Meng Yao gave him a blushing look.
He took it and flipped it over in his hand, "Is this copied by Pang Yunfan for you?"
As soon as it was mentioned, Mengyu hurriedly stopped the fan, because he asked: "Where is Pang Yunfan, is he still locked in the county government office?"
"He has such a big case on his back, how can he be released easily?" Dong Mo clapped a stack of papers in his hand, "Why did he copy this to you?"
Meng Tiao has nothing to hide, he finished all the things about scheming Pang Yunfan in detail, then leaned back, stretched his neck long, and beat his fan into his lapel, "If it's not for this, who would have the leisure to be with him?" Crooked? Well, now that I’m out of Meng’s house, I don’t need this thing anymore. I know you’re looking for Mengyu, so take it if you want it. my idler."
"Then I would like to thank you in advance. I am worried that there is no progress in the matter of the Salt Transport Department." Dong Mo jokingly arched in the seat and folded up the contract.Although there was some hesitation in my heart, it was only a moment of hesitation, and I still didn't hide it from her, "Although I handed over the account to the account department for verification, I can't just wait for their letter here."
"Don't tell me these things. Right now, I just want to be an idler who eats and sleeps. I don't care about everything. Anyway, if the sky falls, you will be the one to bear it."
The beautiful red sunset shone on Meng Tiao's shoulders. She was wearing a long gown with a crepe gauze and dark flowers, a skirt of crab shell green, her hair was all tied into a loose bun, and she wore an emerald pendant with a few sticky strands. On the sweaty neck, there was a curve, and half of the red lips were slightly parted impatiently, which was extraordinarily enchanting.
Dong Mo looked at her, and gradually suppressed his smile, "Meng'er, you seem to be very good at doing these things."
In an instant, the cicadas screamed so loudly that they ripped their lungs apart and ripped their stomachs apart.The fan in Mengyu's hand paused for a moment, and she gave a sideways playful wink, "Didn't you still call me a 'slut' earlier, aren't sluts good at dealing with men?"
Dong Mo stretched out his hand and brushed away the strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, "I was angry, and I didn't count. I mean, you seem to be very good at dealing with men in officialdom. You said last time, you want to tell me that Why did Nian make a slip of the tongue, can you say it now?"
At this time, the girl brought up two bowls of Lychee Bingsushan, which were served in transparent crystal bowls, which were crystal clear and beautiful.Meng Yu put down the fan, took a bite to eat, and raised her eyebrows to look at her, "I told you, don't get angry, it's all in the past."
It is not only to persuade him not to be angry about Meng Yusuo her, but also to worry that he will be angry with her past actions.She herself knew it was disgraceful.But he reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth, giving her a little more confidence.
So let's talk about how he made an agreement with Meng Yu in the past, and how the couple dealt with each other in the officialdom.Speaking of some people in the officialdom, Dong Mo was naturally mentioned, but the participation of the old lady and Mei Qing was not mentioned.
Finally, when it came to being imprisoned by Meng Yu, Meng Tiao even ate a few mouthfuls of Sushan, moved to sit next to him, put his arms around him, and acted like a baby with his face up, "I really can't bear that day, if I don't give food and drink , or beating and scolding, I will definitely be able to resist! But my God, when people are locked up, no one can be seen in the courtyard, and no one can be heard talking. Those days pass like a year. At the end of the day, I felt that I was crazy, and I even talked to myself. One day I saw myself in the mirror, and I was shocked. It was a crazy woman! I just listened to him , you don't blame me, do you?"
The sky is completely dark, but there is no moonlight, and there is no one to light the lamp for the time being.Mengyu couldn't see his expression clearly, only heard his breathing was a little stagnant.Suddenly thunder and lightning flashed, and when I looked out the window, thick clouds gathered, and it really was going to rain.It is estimated that the girls are busy cleaning up the clothes to dry, and there is no one in the corridor.
Meng Tiao went to hold the lamp, lit up the four silver pots, picked up one and returned to the couch, the candle light flickered tremblingly, illuminating a gloomy look of pain in Dong Mo's eyes.
He was silent for a while, and he seemed to be able to see her despair at that time from her words.He wanted to rush back to protect her, but time couldn't go against the flow, so he could only sit in the same place in vain, with his hands covering his forehead, feeling more and more powerless and exhausted.
"I didn't expect Meng Yu to treat you like this." Dong Mo covered his eyes, leaned his back on the couch pillow, tilted his head slightly, and showed a wry smile, "I thought you two had an agreement at that time, and I even went to the Meng Mansion to look for it." You twice. The first time Meng Yu said that you went to Suzhou to avoid me. I didn’t believe it, so I went to ask your sister the second time, and she said the same thing, and persuaded me a lot.”
"They're coaxing you. If you don't talk like that, don't you give up and turn Meng's house upside down?" Meng Tiao put down Yin Chi and sat beside him, smiling on his back: "It's all over, isn't it better now?" ? I came to you again, and we are still together."
Dong Mo recalled the situation at home, he hesitated a few times at that time, and hated her and resented her in his heart, but in the end, that little love overwhelmed these emotions and made him return to Jinan.Otherwise, I dare not think that if we miss each other for a few years, wouldn't we just miss a lifetime?
He raised his arms and hugged Meng Yuan in his arms, and squinted his eyes, "Meng Yu just lied to me, why doesn't even your sister tell me the truth? You have been imprisoned for so long, doesn't it mean that she misses me?" rescue you?"
Meng Tiao pursed her mouth and gave a wry smile, "My girl is good when she's good, but she just wants me to die when she's bad. It's hard for me to tell you right now."
"Then you speak slowly, and I listen slowly."
All of a sudden, another flash of lightning flashed, brightening the brows of the dream, the face was cloudy white, as bleak as a frosty moon, "Actually, you will know sooner or later. I will tell you to listen, you Will you still love me?"
Dong Mo solemnly said, "If you don't want me to know, then you don't have to. I just know that no matter what your past is, you have made you what you are today. Since I love you today, I can accept any unbearable things you do. past."
A sliver of sweetness spilled out of Mengyuan's swollen bitter heart, and he cast a glance, "That sounds nice."
The rain started to fall, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the corridor, and the maids ran back from the cave door in a mess.Mengying also jumped in from the window and landed on Dong Mo's lap in twos and threes.He held the cat in one hand, and wrapped Meng Tiao in the other, "Let's go into the house, sleep on the bed and talk slowly, don't worry, this night will still be this long."
The bedding and gauze curtains were all newly changed, and Mengying lay lazily on the Mengtiao pillow, and occasionally there was a lightning flash and thunder, and then jumped on Dong Mo's chest, looked around vigilantly, and slowly lay down on his heart.
Two candles were lit on the left and right of the bed, and the drowsy halo was covered with a lilac-colored netting and covered with ivory mats.There was a window on the opposite wall, some rainwater came in slantingly, and the corner of the kang table was wet, but the smoke from the blue jade seal on it could not be extinguished, rising curlingly.The wind is chilly, bringing a light sandalwood fragrance.
Meng Tiao didn't smoke incense in the past, but when he came here, because of smoking pouches, Dong Mo might not be used to smelling it, so he smoked it too.Dong Mo didn't comment on these bad habits of hers, but even gave her a Hetian jade incense burner to use ashes.He also joked: "When someone burns incense and you burn cigarettes, it is considered a half-elegant thing."
Talking to Mengyu, I felt embarrassed, and I sucked a lot less than usual day by day, sipping here and there, and it was only a pot of smoke a day.
At this moment, she had no choice but to light up again, no point.She sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the cigarette pipe outward, and had to create some miasma to cover herself a little, so as not to talk about those unbearable pasts and dare not face his eyes.
"Mei Qing was picked up by my mother and I on the way from Wuxi to Jinan that year. She was originally a little beggar, and she didn't know who her parents were. Anyway, she was hanging out with a group of half-grown beggars. It turned out that not all beggars were there. Do you know that they still have a boss? At that time, the boss was about [-] or [-] years old. He was a street ruffian, and he specially sent this group of young people out to beg for money. Whatever they begged for was his. He just gave them some rotten food to eat."
Speaking of which, Meng Yu was still a little angry, "At that time, my mother took me to rest at a hotel in that town, and often saw them at the door. Mei Qing was the only girl there, only seven, eight, or nine years old. She looked like a thin body, and came to ask me for money. I thought she was really pitiful, so I gave her a few copper coins from my mother's bag. She got a benefit and came for three days in a row."
"By the fourth day..."
Meng Tiao puffed out a puff of smoke, and in the smoky past, came a sallow and skinny little girl, dressed in boy's short brown clothes, tattered, patched so that there was nowhere to be patched, and in some places there was a After three layers of patches, the color and style cannot be distinguished at all.It is probably for this reason that people don't want it and throw it to beggars to wear it.
Those beggars all called Mei Qing "Little Plum Blossom", and Meng Tiao also called her like that, pinching her thin waist with both hands, and strutted on the door of the hotel, "Little Plum Blossom, I don't have any money anymore, you You can't let my family cheat! Yesterday, I told my mother that I stole her money and gave it to you. She scolded me a lot. I don't dare to give it to you anymore. You find someone else to go."
While talking, the waiter brought over a square wooden table, which contained two bowls of porridge and a few cornmeal buns, which were the breakfast Meng Tiao ordered at the hotel, and he was going to bring them upstairs to ask her mother to get up and eat.Glancing at Xiaomeihua's eyes like a hungry ghost, he couldn't bear it, so he gave her a bun, "Here, that's all for today, I don't have any money!"
Xiaomeihua had no choice but to walk across the street with the broken bowl in her hand, only then did Mengyuan see her walking up and down unsteadily, with her two skinny legs swaying outwards, looking ridiculous like a duck.Looking up along her feet, there is a wet mass on the buttocks, which is so black that I can't tell what it is.
Mengyu hurriedly called to her: "Come back!"
She ran back with legs crossed.Meng Yu was half a head taller than her, tilted his face and asked her, "What's wrong with your leg?"
She blinked blindly, "The leg... the root hurts."
Meng Tiao pulled her over and wiped her buttocks, wiping blood all over her hands.After all, Mengyu grew up watching her mother deal with men growing up, she was startled, she glanced at the group of little beggars across the street, dragged Xiaomeihua to the bottom of the wall, and asked her in a low voice: "Did you fall?" Yes, or did someone make it?"
Little Plum Blossom knocked on the ground, unable to explain it clearly, "Our brother Xiangzi carried me to the other side of his bed before dawn, untied my hakama, and poked me with a stick, so I bled. My little sister, You can give me two coppers, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask for money, and Brother Xiangzi will beat me again."
Mengyu was so shocked that she couldn't speak, after a while, she touched two copper coins and sent her back, "If you come here tomorrow, I'll give it back to you. Just don't tell anyone, come here by yourself."
"Ai, ai!" Xiaomeihua happily ran back across the street with her legs crossed.
Meng Tiao looked behind for a while, secretly gritted her two rows of young teeth, turned back into the hotel with her meal in hand, and went straight into the room.
Her mother just got up and combed her hair with a diamond mirror on the bed. When she saw her come in, she put down the mirror and said, "Go ask the shopkeeper and tell him to find a carriage for us. We will leave tomorrow."
With a sound of "bang", Mengyu put the breakfast on the table in a bad manner, "If I don't say it, I need someone to run upstairs and downstairs again!"
"Hey, you little girl, what's the matter with running more? When you should run and dance more at your age, how can you grow if you don't run or dance?"
Meng Yu glanced at her, turned his face, found her silver hairpin, and put it on the bun for her, "Mother, if the housework is not good, let me do it alone? I chop and chop on the chopping board every day." Yes, it’s so heavy that I’m not growing any longer, and I always need someone to share the burden for me.”
The old lady tilted the mirror to look at her, "Hey, ghost girl, you still want to order the girl? I don't have the spare money to buy a girl, and our family is not a landlord."
"I didn't say to buy a girl, there are those who don't need money."
"The ones that don't need money? Where can I find them? These days, people's teeth are getting better than the next, and those who lack arms and legs can still cheat people for two taels of silver."
Meng Tiao raised his chin to the window that was embedded in the wall, "Mother, go and see, there is a little beggar across the street, the thin one. I have seen her for several days, but she is very inspiring. Mother's hair Kindness, pick her up and go to Jinan with us. We are new to Jinan this time, and we are not familiar with the place, renting a house to buy things, and most of the work is running errands. Ask her to help run around, the left is just For the matter of a bowl of rice, if you save a strand of it anywhere, are you afraid that you won’t be able to feed her?"
"I show kindness?" Her mother threw down the mirror and laughed, "Oh, there are so many strange things in this world, and the strangest thing is to ask my old lady to show kindness..."
Even though he said this, he still couldn't stand the push and push, and walked towards the window with his skirt in hand.
Meng Tiao's immature voice continued to help behind him, "Mum, if you don't pick her up, she will have a hard time living. Guess what happened to her when she got up in the morning? They have a guy called 'Brother Xiangzi', give her to me, What did you give me? She is still blindfolded and doesn't know, she just thinks that someone hit her with a stick. Mother, look, she is not much younger than me, how pitiful."
I don't know which sentence touched her mother's heart, but her mother raised the window casement with one hand, and looked seriously at the dusty opposite street.In the eyes of this bewitching woman, ripples of sadness gradually appeared, faintly, in this strange town, in this world that was still unfamiliar even after living in it for many years.
"The next day before dawn, we hired a carriage and we saw that little plum blossom waiting at the door. I don't know how she ran out with them behind her back. Without saying a word, my mother led her into the carriage together, and the She became an adopted daughter and named her 'Meng Meiqing'. From then until now, we have never been separated."
After smoking half a pack of cigarettes, Meng Yu glanced down, "Hey, you are not allowed to tell Shu Wang about this. Let him know, how Bao Buqi despises Mei Qing."
Dong Mo didn't have time to meddle in other people's business, but hearing this, he couldn't help but think of Meng Yuan's life at that time.He guessed that her experience with men wasn't just from her mother.
This kind of speculation made his chest tight, he pushed Mengying off his chest with one hand, sat up, and sighed on the bedside, "When you arrive in Jinan, what do you live on?"
Finally asked here, Meng Tiao hastily exhaled a puff of thick smoke, her brows could not be seen in the smoke, only her frivolous and heavy smile of her life could be heard, "What else can I rely on, rely on a man. It was my mother at first. People supported us, and later we grew up, and we also learned to manage. You know, there are not many jobs for women in this world. Needlework is just a piece of cake, and we don’t have the strength to move and resist. The matchmaker is even more inexperienced, and she is not of that age, so I can only rely on this appearance to cheat and abduct some money."
The smoke screen in front of him seemed to be dissipating, and Mengtiao hurriedly let out another mouthful.She wanted the smoke to cut off his contempt or disgust gaze, even if it was just a possibility, she couldn't see it.
Not wanting to be silent for a while, Dong Mo broke through the smoke screen to hug her, hugged her and put her back on the bed, smiled, "I really can't see that my Meng'er can support a family at such a young age, no wonder Zhou Quan is so young now. His temperament, even I was deceived at that time."
Meng Tiao held the cigarette stick high in one hand, and buried half of his face in his chest.The wind outside the window blew moist air into her swollen and sore lungs, and tears welled up.She secretly wiped her tears on his pale pajamas.
At this time, the cat jumped up out of nowhere, stepped on the arm that was on Meng Yuan's side, and the rhythm was slow.The cat has gained weight again, and it hurts from stepping on it. I tapped it on the head with an extinguished cigarette, "Go down, do you think you are slim, you are dead!"
Dong Mo swung it down, hugged her up with both arms, and peeked at her from the sidelines, "Hey, why are you crying?"
"Who is crying? My name is Yan Xun." Meng Yu gave him a light look, and pressed his bones into his arms again and again, "It's getting cold when it rains."
"Close the window?"
"Don't turn it off, take a breath."
A good brocade quilt was piled at the foot of the bed because it was too hot at first, and the cat squatted high on top of it like a small mountain castle.Dong Mo held Meng Tiao in his arms, so he flicked it away with his foot, lifted the quilt up to his body, and held it tightly, wrapping Meng Tiao around him.
In the stillness, the rain breaks and the clouds disperse, and the moon shadows across the window. It is hard to tell whether it is the residual rain on the tiles or the leak in the copper pot.On that huge cabinet is a relief of pine and chrysanthemums, which are floating by the candlelight, looking from a slant, it seems to be floating out of the water.
Mengyu cried so much that her eyelids became heavy and she fell asleep.Thinking about the past few days, Dong Mo was busy every night, and refused to sleep until midnight.Why are you suddenly so honest tonight?Thinking of it this way, she felt itchy and impatiently looking forward to it.
She raised her eyes and touched his chin, "The beard is protruding, it pricks my hands."
"Huh? Is that so?" Dong Mo touched it himself, and then glanced at her, "It's not too bad to prick your hands."
"Zip." As soon as the words finished, Meng Tiao hurriedly buried her face in his chest, lest he hear her hint, and hoped that he could hear it.
Dong Mo's mind was not on this at all, he was still thinking about how to comfort her troubled past.But his life has always been rich and noble, and he lacks nothing, except his parents, which is not worth mentioning when he thinks about it.
Finally, she picked out one for him, took her hand touching his chin, and smiled, "You have told so many things about you, and I will also tell you something about my childhood."
"Ah? What? Tell me."
"The scar on my chest was beaten by my elder brother when I was ten years old. It was the first time I had a hand with someone. I remember that the kitchen didn't bring my father's medicine for a long time, so I had to go there myself. Duan. I ran into my elder brother on the road, and recklessly dropped my medicine bowl. I was very angry, so I fought with him. He touched a sharp piece of broken porcelain on the ground and stabbed me in the chest. After reading it, it is only an inch or two away from the heart. If the broken porcelain piece is longer, you will not be able to meet me, and we will have to meet in the next life."
After hearing this, Mengyu suddenly became angry, "Your elder brother is so dark-hearted? After all, he is a real brother, and he dares to do such a deadly move?!"
"He was spoiled by the old lady at home, he dared to do anything." Dong Mo smiled nonchalantly, stroking her back, "That was the first and only time I fought with someone. Everyone said I am gentle, but when I came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I sometimes interrogated prisoners and used punishment. I watched from the sidelines and didn’t think much of it, and I didn’t blink. No, I don't think much about your past. Instead, I think, maybe it's because of me, I met you too late, and I made you suffer a lot. "
"Unexpectedly, you also talk nonsense. Whether you will meet me or not, when will you meet, where is your decision?" Meng Yu was as satisfied as a cat under his feet, loosened his bones in his arms, and fell into a ball limply. Sticking to his body, I can't wait to get into his belly.
Perhaps there is still a little dissatisfaction in the satisfaction.
But Dong Mo put all that matter behind him, and just coaxed her with soft words.Meng Yuan didn't pay attention to what he said later, but just remembered that he kissed her in front of He He, and said that he would give her everything that others had.
Meng Tiao was so hopeful that he fell asleep in a daze, thinking it was just a dream.
Who would have thought that when she woke up the next day, it was as if she had changed into a different room, with flowers blooming everywhere.Meng Tiao sat up in shock and saw that there were several chairs on the couch, and even the floor was covered with flowers.At this time, begonias are in full bloom and peonies are in full bloom. I don’t know where I folded these. Several branches are placed in porcelain vases, colorful and messy. The room is full of fragrance, like falling in a fairy palace.
Meng Yu stretched his body and shouted under the curtain: "Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping!"
But he called Xie Chun in, holding a basket of flowers of various colors in his hands, and walked to the bed through the path cut in the middle, "Hey, the girl is awake. It's already bright, and the master has gone to the yamen. "
The chattering women outside were laughing, and Caiyi's voice was the loudest, yelling something: "Ah! This is Qinglong Womochi, I recognize it, it's so expensive, where did you get it?"
Sure enough, a little girl came in with another basket, which was a basket of famous peonies.Meng Yu poked his head to see, "Where did these flowers come from?"
Xie Chun went to pick up the little girl's basket, "For these flowers, I'm exhausted. My man was looking for them outside at five o'clock. The flower sellers in the city searched all over the flowers in their flower gardens. I bought it. There are also several adults who have gone to the house to bargain for a lot."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he said with a smile: "Our master is not good at coaxing people. There is no shortage of silk and satin, and there are many girls with gold and silver jewelry, so we learned how our family coaxes Miss Ba. You don't know, we Miss Ba is the youngest in the family, and the third master and the third wife dote on her like something. Before she left the cabinet, whenever she celebrated her birthday, the third master would order folded flowers to fill her room, just to make her happy."
Meng Yu didn't recognize Miss Seven or Miss Eight, so when she heard Yi Xin she just laughed at Dong Mo's stupidity.Between the lowered eyebrows, I saw a note on Dong Mo's pillow. I picked it up and read it. It said——May the world not see you, light frost and snow.
She put down the note, picked up a flower in the basket, and sniffed it under her nose.On the delicate and delicate sea of pink, a beautiful smile floated up.
The author says:
Meng Tiao: Can't coax people?You are so humble.
Dong Mo: I really don't know how to coax people, you just make do and be happy.
Sometimes Mengtiao was so hot that he was so hot that he patted it on the head lightly, "Go, go, don't cling to me, it's hot in summer, you cover me like a big sweater, how can I bear it? "
With a "meow", Mengying jumped out of the window in the blink of an eye and disappeared.Meng Yu glanced out of the window, "Hey, you're so angry."
"Follow it's sister." Dong Mo came from the small study, holding a stack of papers in his hand.
It was late in the evening, just after dinner, my stomach was melting, my internal organs were working hard, and I felt a little weak and weak.Meng Tiao wished that it was the cat, who seemed to be not afraid of the heat, taking a nap on the railing covered by the setting sun.
Meng Tiao didn't pay attention to the things in his hands, she gave him a dry look, pouted her lips in annoyance, the fan was rustling, "It's so hot today! It doesn't want to rain, really .”
The sound of cicadas filled the courtyard, and the few arrow bamboos in front of the cave didn't move, and there wasn't even a breath of wind.
"It's probably going to rain in the night, bear with it, and it will cool off after the rain." At this time, the ice on the market has not been made yet, and Dong Mo is sweating a lot, so he dare not touch her, but Sit down on the opposite couch, and hand her the paper in your hand, "Look at this, did you drop it in this room?"
Meng Tiao picked it up and took a look, startled, "Where did I find it? When did it fall out, I completely forgot!"
It was the deeds copied by Pang Yunfan. Meng Tiao was busy moving, and had already forgotten these things to Java.Dong Mo laughed and said, "Young girl found it under the couch in the bedroom. I think it must have been that night, I tore your clothes and dropped them from you. It was too dark at that time, so I didn't pay attention."
Whether it was the darkness or some other reason, only God knows. Thinking of that chaotic night, Meng Yao gave him a blushing look.
He took it and flipped it over in his hand, "Is this copied by Pang Yunfan for you?"
As soon as it was mentioned, Mengyu hurriedly stopped the fan, because he asked: "Where is Pang Yunfan, is he still locked in the county government office?"
"He has such a big case on his back, how can he be released easily?" Dong Mo clapped a stack of papers in his hand, "Why did he copy this to you?"
Meng Tiao has nothing to hide, he finished all the things about scheming Pang Yunfan in detail, then leaned back, stretched his neck long, and beat his fan into his lapel, "If it's not for this, who would have the leisure to be with him?" Crooked? Well, now that I’m out of Meng’s house, I don’t need this thing anymore. I know you’re looking for Mengyu, so take it if you want it. my idler."
"Then I would like to thank you in advance. I am worried that there is no progress in the matter of the Salt Transport Department." Dong Mo jokingly arched in the seat and folded up the contract.Although there was some hesitation in my heart, it was only a moment of hesitation, and I still didn't hide it from her, "Although I handed over the account to the account department for verification, I can't just wait for their letter here."
"Don't tell me these things. Right now, I just want to be an idler who eats and sleeps. I don't care about everything. Anyway, if the sky falls, you will be the one to bear it."
The beautiful red sunset shone on Meng Tiao's shoulders. She was wearing a long gown with a crepe gauze and dark flowers, a skirt of crab shell green, her hair was all tied into a loose bun, and she wore an emerald pendant with a few sticky strands. On the sweaty neck, there was a curve, and half of the red lips were slightly parted impatiently, which was extraordinarily enchanting.
Dong Mo looked at her, and gradually suppressed his smile, "Meng'er, you seem to be very good at doing these things."
In an instant, the cicadas screamed so loudly that they ripped their lungs apart and ripped their stomachs apart.The fan in Mengyu's hand paused for a moment, and she gave a sideways playful wink, "Didn't you still call me a 'slut' earlier, aren't sluts good at dealing with men?"
Dong Mo stretched out his hand and brushed away the strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, "I was angry, and I didn't count. I mean, you seem to be very good at dealing with men in officialdom. You said last time, you want to tell me that Why did Nian make a slip of the tongue, can you say it now?"
At this time, the girl brought up two bowls of Lychee Bingsushan, which were served in transparent crystal bowls, which were crystal clear and beautiful.Meng Yu put down the fan, took a bite to eat, and raised her eyebrows to look at her, "I told you, don't get angry, it's all in the past."
It is not only to persuade him not to be angry about Meng Yusuo her, but also to worry that he will be angry with her past actions.She herself knew it was disgraceful.But he reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth, giving her a little more confidence.
So let's talk about how he made an agreement with Meng Yu in the past, and how the couple dealt with each other in the officialdom.Speaking of some people in the officialdom, Dong Mo was naturally mentioned, but the participation of the old lady and Mei Qing was not mentioned.
Finally, when it came to being imprisoned by Meng Yu, Meng Tiao even ate a few mouthfuls of Sushan, moved to sit next to him, put his arms around him, and acted like a baby with his face up, "I really can't bear that day, if I don't give food and drink , or beating and scolding, I will definitely be able to resist! But my God, when people are locked up, no one can be seen in the courtyard, and no one can be heard talking. Those days pass like a year. At the end of the day, I felt that I was crazy, and I even talked to myself. One day I saw myself in the mirror, and I was shocked. It was a crazy woman! I just listened to him , you don't blame me, do you?"
The sky is completely dark, but there is no moonlight, and there is no one to light the lamp for the time being.Mengyu couldn't see his expression clearly, only heard his breathing was a little stagnant.Suddenly thunder and lightning flashed, and when I looked out the window, thick clouds gathered, and it really was going to rain.It is estimated that the girls are busy cleaning up the clothes to dry, and there is no one in the corridor.
Meng Tiao went to hold the lamp, lit up the four silver pots, picked up one and returned to the couch, the candle light flickered tremblingly, illuminating a gloomy look of pain in Dong Mo's eyes.
He was silent for a while, and he seemed to be able to see her despair at that time from her words.He wanted to rush back to protect her, but time couldn't go against the flow, so he could only sit in the same place in vain, with his hands covering his forehead, feeling more and more powerless and exhausted.
"I didn't expect Meng Yu to treat you like this." Dong Mo covered his eyes, leaned his back on the couch pillow, tilted his head slightly, and showed a wry smile, "I thought you two had an agreement at that time, and I even went to the Meng Mansion to look for it." You twice. The first time Meng Yu said that you went to Suzhou to avoid me. I didn’t believe it, so I went to ask your sister the second time, and she said the same thing, and persuaded me a lot.”
"They're coaxing you. If you don't talk like that, don't you give up and turn Meng's house upside down?" Meng Tiao put down Yin Chi and sat beside him, smiling on his back: "It's all over, isn't it better now?" ? I came to you again, and we are still together."
Dong Mo recalled the situation at home, he hesitated a few times at that time, and hated her and resented her in his heart, but in the end, that little love overwhelmed these emotions and made him return to Jinan.Otherwise, I dare not think that if we miss each other for a few years, wouldn't we just miss a lifetime?
He raised his arms and hugged Meng Yuan in his arms, and squinted his eyes, "Meng Yu just lied to me, why doesn't even your sister tell me the truth? You have been imprisoned for so long, doesn't it mean that she misses me?" rescue you?"
Meng Tiao pursed her mouth and gave a wry smile, "My girl is good when she's good, but she just wants me to die when she's bad. It's hard for me to tell you right now."
"Then you speak slowly, and I listen slowly."
All of a sudden, another flash of lightning flashed, brightening the brows of the dream, the face was cloudy white, as bleak as a frosty moon, "Actually, you will know sooner or later. I will tell you to listen, you Will you still love me?"
Dong Mo solemnly said, "If you don't want me to know, then you don't have to. I just know that no matter what your past is, you have made you what you are today. Since I love you today, I can accept any unbearable things you do. past."
A sliver of sweetness spilled out of Mengyuan's swollen bitter heart, and he cast a glance, "That sounds nice."
The rain started to fall, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the corridor, and the maids ran back from the cave door in a mess.Mengying also jumped in from the window and landed on Dong Mo's lap in twos and threes.He held the cat in one hand, and wrapped Meng Tiao in the other, "Let's go into the house, sleep on the bed and talk slowly, don't worry, this night will still be this long."
The bedding and gauze curtains were all newly changed, and Mengying lay lazily on the Mengtiao pillow, and occasionally there was a lightning flash and thunder, and then jumped on Dong Mo's chest, looked around vigilantly, and slowly lay down on his heart.
Two candles were lit on the left and right of the bed, and the drowsy halo was covered with a lilac-colored netting and covered with ivory mats.There was a window on the opposite wall, some rainwater came in slantingly, and the corner of the kang table was wet, but the smoke from the blue jade seal on it could not be extinguished, rising curlingly.The wind is chilly, bringing a light sandalwood fragrance.
Meng Tiao didn't smoke incense in the past, but when he came here, because of smoking pouches, Dong Mo might not be used to smelling it, so he smoked it too.Dong Mo didn't comment on these bad habits of hers, but even gave her a Hetian jade incense burner to use ashes.He also joked: "When someone burns incense and you burn cigarettes, it is considered a half-elegant thing."
Talking to Mengyu, I felt embarrassed, and I sucked a lot less than usual day by day, sipping here and there, and it was only a pot of smoke a day.
At this moment, she had no choice but to light up again, no point.She sat cross-legged on the bed, holding the cigarette pipe outward, and had to create some miasma to cover herself a little, so as not to talk about those unbearable pasts and dare not face his eyes.
"Mei Qing was picked up by my mother and I on the way from Wuxi to Jinan that year. She was originally a little beggar, and she didn't know who her parents were. Anyway, she was hanging out with a group of half-grown beggars. It turned out that not all beggars were there. Do you know that they still have a boss? At that time, the boss was about [-] or [-] years old. He was a street ruffian, and he specially sent this group of young people out to beg for money. Whatever they begged for was his. He just gave them some rotten food to eat."
Speaking of which, Meng Yu was still a little angry, "At that time, my mother took me to rest at a hotel in that town, and often saw them at the door. Mei Qing was the only girl there, only seven, eight, or nine years old. She looked like a thin body, and came to ask me for money. I thought she was really pitiful, so I gave her a few copper coins from my mother's bag. She got a benefit and came for three days in a row."
"By the fourth day..."
Meng Tiao puffed out a puff of smoke, and in the smoky past, came a sallow and skinny little girl, dressed in boy's short brown clothes, tattered, patched so that there was nowhere to be patched, and in some places there was a After three layers of patches, the color and style cannot be distinguished at all.It is probably for this reason that people don't want it and throw it to beggars to wear it.
Those beggars all called Mei Qing "Little Plum Blossom", and Meng Tiao also called her like that, pinching her thin waist with both hands, and strutted on the door of the hotel, "Little Plum Blossom, I don't have any money anymore, you You can't let my family cheat! Yesterday, I told my mother that I stole her money and gave it to you. She scolded me a lot. I don't dare to give it to you anymore. You find someone else to go."
While talking, the waiter brought over a square wooden table, which contained two bowls of porridge and a few cornmeal buns, which were the breakfast Meng Tiao ordered at the hotel, and he was going to bring them upstairs to ask her mother to get up and eat.Glancing at Xiaomeihua's eyes like a hungry ghost, he couldn't bear it, so he gave her a bun, "Here, that's all for today, I don't have any money!"
Xiaomeihua had no choice but to walk across the street with the broken bowl in her hand, only then did Mengyuan see her walking up and down unsteadily, with her two skinny legs swaying outwards, looking ridiculous like a duck.Looking up along her feet, there is a wet mass on the buttocks, which is so black that I can't tell what it is.
Mengyu hurriedly called to her: "Come back!"
She ran back with legs crossed.Meng Yu was half a head taller than her, tilted his face and asked her, "What's wrong with your leg?"
She blinked blindly, "The leg... the root hurts."
Meng Tiao pulled her over and wiped her buttocks, wiping blood all over her hands.After all, Mengyu grew up watching her mother deal with men growing up, she was startled, she glanced at the group of little beggars across the street, dragged Xiaomeihua to the bottom of the wall, and asked her in a low voice: "Did you fall?" Yes, or did someone make it?"
Little Plum Blossom knocked on the ground, unable to explain it clearly, "Our brother Xiangzi carried me to the other side of his bed before dawn, untied my hakama, and poked me with a stick, so I bled. My little sister, You can give me two coppers, I'm afraid I won't be able to ask for money, and Brother Xiangzi will beat me again."
Mengyu was so shocked that she couldn't speak, after a while, she touched two copper coins and sent her back, "If you come here tomorrow, I'll give it back to you. Just don't tell anyone, come here by yourself."
"Ai, ai!" Xiaomeihua happily ran back across the street with her legs crossed.
Meng Tiao looked behind for a while, secretly gritted her two rows of young teeth, turned back into the hotel with her meal in hand, and went straight into the room.
Her mother just got up and combed her hair with a diamond mirror on the bed. When she saw her come in, she put down the mirror and said, "Go ask the shopkeeper and tell him to find a carriage for us. We will leave tomorrow."
With a sound of "bang", Mengyu put the breakfast on the table in a bad manner, "If I don't say it, I need someone to run upstairs and downstairs again!"
"Hey, you little girl, what's the matter with running more? When you should run and dance more at your age, how can you grow if you don't run or dance?"
Meng Yu glanced at her, turned his face, found her silver hairpin, and put it on the bun for her, "Mother, if the housework is not good, let me do it alone? I chop and chop on the chopping board every day." Yes, it’s so heavy that I’m not growing any longer, and I always need someone to share the burden for me.”
The old lady tilted the mirror to look at her, "Hey, ghost girl, you still want to order the girl? I don't have the spare money to buy a girl, and our family is not a landlord."
"I didn't say to buy a girl, there are those who don't need money."
"The ones that don't need money? Where can I find them? These days, people's teeth are getting better than the next, and those who lack arms and legs can still cheat people for two taels of silver."
Meng Tiao raised his chin to the window that was embedded in the wall, "Mother, go and see, there is a little beggar across the street, the thin one. I have seen her for several days, but she is very inspiring. Mother's hair Kindness, pick her up and go to Jinan with us. We are new to Jinan this time, and we are not familiar with the place, renting a house to buy things, and most of the work is running errands. Ask her to help run around, the left is just For the matter of a bowl of rice, if you save a strand of it anywhere, are you afraid that you won’t be able to feed her?"
"I show kindness?" Her mother threw down the mirror and laughed, "Oh, there are so many strange things in this world, and the strangest thing is to ask my old lady to show kindness..."
Even though he said this, he still couldn't stand the push and push, and walked towards the window with his skirt in hand.
Meng Tiao's immature voice continued to help behind him, "Mum, if you don't pick her up, she will have a hard time living. Guess what happened to her when she got up in the morning? They have a guy called 'Brother Xiangzi', give her to me, What did you give me? She is still blindfolded and doesn't know, she just thinks that someone hit her with a stick. Mother, look, she is not much younger than me, how pitiful."
I don't know which sentence touched her mother's heart, but her mother raised the window casement with one hand, and looked seriously at the dusty opposite street.In the eyes of this bewitching woman, ripples of sadness gradually appeared, faintly, in this strange town, in this world that was still unfamiliar even after living in it for many years.
"The next day before dawn, we hired a carriage and we saw that little plum blossom waiting at the door. I don't know how she ran out with them behind her back. Without saying a word, my mother led her into the carriage together, and the She became an adopted daughter and named her 'Meng Meiqing'. From then until now, we have never been separated."
After smoking half a pack of cigarettes, Meng Yu glanced down, "Hey, you are not allowed to tell Shu Wang about this. Let him know, how Bao Buqi despises Mei Qing."
Dong Mo didn't have time to meddle in other people's business, but hearing this, he couldn't help but think of Meng Yuan's life at that time.He guessed that her experience with men wasn't just from her mother.
This kind of speculation made his chest tight, he pushed Mengying off his chest with one hand, sat up, and sighed on the bedside, "When you arrive in Jinan, what do you live on?"
Finally asked here, Meng Tiao hastily exhaled a puff of thick smoke, her brows could not be seen in the smoke, only her frivolous and heavy smile of her life could be heard, "What else can I rely on, rely on a man. It was my mother at first. People supported us, and later we grew up, and we also learned to manage. You know, there are not many jobs for women in this world. Needlework is just a piece of cake, and we don’t have the strength to move and resist. The matchmaker is even more inexperienced, and she is not of that age, so I can only rely on this appearance to cheat and abduct some money."
The smoke screen in front of him seemed to be dissipating, and Mengtiao hurriedly let out another mouthful.She wanted the smoke to cut off his contempt or disgust gaze, even if it was just a possibility, she couldn't see it.
Not wanting to be silent for a while, Dong Mo broke through the smoke screen to hug her, hugged her and put her back on the bed, smiled, "I really can't see that my Meng'er can support a family at such a young age, no wonder Zhou Quan is so young now. His temperament, even I was deceived at that time."
Meng Tiao held the cigarette stick high in one hand, and buried half of his face in his chest.The wind outside the window blew moist air into her swollen and sore lungs, and tears welled up.She secretly wiped her tears on his pale pajamas.
At this time, the cat jumped up out of nowhere, stepped on the arm that was on Meng Yuan's side, and the rhythm was slow.The cat has gained weight again, and it hurts from stepping on it. I tapped it on the head with an extinguished cigarette, "Go down, do you think you are slim, you are dead!"
Dong Mo swung it down, hugged her up with both arms, and peeked at her from the sidelines, "Hey, why are you crying?"
"Who is crying? My name is Yan Xun." Meng Yu gave him a light look, and pressed his bones into his arms again and again, "It's getting cold when it rains."
"Close the window?"
"Don't turn it off, take a breath."
A good brocade quilt was piled at the foot of the bed because it was too hot at first, and the cat squatted high on top of it like a small mountain castle.Dong Mo held Meng Tiao in his arms, so he flicked it away with his foot, lifted the quilt up to his body, and held it tightly, wrapping Meng Tiao around him.
In the stillness, the rain breaks and the clouds disperse, and the moon shadows across the window. It is hard to tell whether it is the residual rain on the tiles or the leak in the copper pot.On that huge cabinet is a relief of pine and chrysanthemums, which are floating by the candlelight, looking from a slant, it seems to be floating out of the water.
Mengyu cried so much that her eyelids became heavy and she fell asleep.Thinking about the past few days, Dong Mo was busy every night, and refused to sleep until midnight.Why are you suddenly so honest tonight?Thinking of it this way, she felt itchy and impatiently looking forward to it.
She raised her eyes and touched his chin, "The beard is protruding, it pricks my hands."
"Huh? Is that so?" Dong Mo touched it himself, and then glanced at her, "It's not too bad to prick your hands."
"Zip." As soon as the words finished, Meng Tiao hurriedly buried her face in his chest, lest he hear her hint, and hoped that he could hear it.
Dong Mo's mind was not on this at all, he was still thinking about how to comfort her troubled past.But his life has always been rich and noble, and he lacks nothing, except his parents, which is not worth mentioning when he thinks about it.
Finally, she picked out one for him, took her hand touching his chin, and smiled, "You have told so many things about you, and I will also tell you something about my childhood."
"Ah? What? Tell me."
"The scar on my chest was beaten by my elder brother when I was ten years old. It was the first time I had a hand with someone. I remember that the kitchen didn't bring my father's medicine for a long time, so I had to go there myself. Duan. I ran into my elder brother on the road, and recklessly dropped my medicine bowl. I was very angry, so I fought with him. He touched a sharp piece of broken porcelain on the ground and stabbed me in the chest. After reading it, it is only an inch or two away from the heart. If the broken porcelain piece is longer, you will not be able to meet me, and we will have to meet in the next life."
After hearing this, Mengyu suddenly became angry, "Your elder brother is so dark-hearted? After all, he is a real brother, and he dares to do such a deadly move?!"
"He was spoiled by the old lady at home, he dared to do anything." Dong Mo smiled nonchalantly, stroking her back, "That was the first and only time I fought with someone. Everyone said I am gentle, but when I came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I sometimes interrogated prisoners and used punishment. I watched from the sidelines and didn’t think much of it, and I didn’t blink. No, I don't think much about your past. Instead, I think, maybe it's because of me, I met you too late, and I made you suffer a lot. "
"Unexpectedly, you also talk nonsense. Whether you will meet me or not, when will you meet, where is your decision?" Meng Yu was as satisfied as a cat under his feet, loosened his bones in his arms, and fell into a ball limply. Sticking to his body, I can't wait to get into his belly.
Perhaps there is still a little dissatisfaction in the satisfaction.
But Dong Mo put all that matter behind him, and just coaxed her with soft words.Meng Yuan didn't pay attention to what he said later, but just remembered that he kissed her in front of He He, and said that he would give her everything that others had.
Meng Tiao was so hopeful that he fell asleep in a daze, thinking it was just a dream.
Who would have thought that when she woke up the next day, it was as if she had changed into a different room, with flowers blooming everywhere.Meng Tiao sat up in shock and saw that there were several chairs on the couch, and even the floor was covered with flowers.At this time, begonias are in full bloom and peonies are in full bloom. I don’t know where I folded these. Several branches are placed in porcelain vases, colorful and messy. The room is full of fragrance, like falling in a fairy palace.
Meng Yu stretched his body and shouted under the curtain: "Zhang Ping, Zhang Ping!"
But he called Xie Chun in, holding a basket of flowers of various colors in his hands, and walked to the bed through the path cut in the middle, "Hey, the girl is awake. It's already bright, and the master has gone to the yamen. "
The chattering women outside were laughing, and Caiyi's voice was the loudest, yelling something: "Ah! This is Qinglong Womochi, I recognize it, it's so expensive, where did you get it?"
Sure enough, a little girl came in with another basket, which was a basket of famous peonies.Meng Yu poked his head to see, "Where did these flowers come from?"
Xie Chun went to pick up the little girl's basket, "For these flowers, I'm exhausted. My man was looking for them outside at five o'clock. The flower sellers in the city searched all over the flowers in their flower gardens. I bought it. There are also several adults who have gone to the house to bargain for a lot."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he said with a smile: "Our master is not good at coaxing people. There is no shortage of silk and satin, and there are many girls with gold and silver jewelry, so we learned how our family coaxes Miss Ba. You don't know, we Miss Ba is the youngest in the family, and the third master and the third wife dote on her like something. Before she left the cabinet, whenever she celebrated her birthday, the third master would order folded flowers to fill her room, just to make her happy."
Meng Yu didn't recognize Miss Seven or Miss Eight, so when she heard Yi Xin she just laughed at Dong Mo's stupidity.Between the lowered eyebrows, I saw a note on Dong Mo's pillow. I picked it up and read it. It said——May the world not see you, light frost and snow.
She put down the note, picked up a flower in the basket, and sniffed it under her nose.On the delicate and delicate sea of pink, a beautiful smile floated up.
The author says:
Meng Tiao: Can't coax people?You are so humble.
Dong Mo: I really don't know how to coax people, you just make do and be happy.
