marry a weak waist
Chapter 61
However, it was said that Pang Yunfan had not been sitting in the Yamen in Tai'an Prefecture for several days, and the news somehow reached Luo Tian's ears.He hurriedly invited Meng Yu to speak.
That day Meng Yu went home, changed his clothes, and went to Luotian Mansion. The summer was hot, and the two were talking in a water pavilion.Luo Tian told Meng Yu about this matter, and Meng Yu thought about it for a moment before asking, "How did you know that?"
Luo Tian clasped the silk folding fan and slapped his palms, "I had some business dealings with Tai'an Prefecture two days ago, and I heard from the other end that Pang Yunfan has not been in the yamen for a long time, and he has been acting as an agent for Tan Anzhou's affairs by a colleague under his command." He was the one who asked the government office for leave, and went back to the hometown to visit relatives with his pregnant wife. At this juncture, why is he visiting relatives? I wonder if there is some other reason, so please tell me."
"His wife is pregnant. I've heard about it. It's true. Have you asked at the government office?"
"I have asked, and there is indeed a document for him to ask for leave."
"Then there's no need to be paranoid, Master Luo." Meng Yu leaned back on the chair and smiled, "Who hasn't thought about housework yet?"
When the word "private affairs" was mentioned, Luo Tianshu changed the conversation and became even more worried, "I heard that your previous wife went to live in Qingyu Garden where Dong Mo lived? Mr. Meng, your I don't want to get involved in private matters, but I don't mean to slap you in the face. I'm just afraid that Mrs. Meng has something to do with you, and will fall into Dong Mo's hands along with her? "
But seeing Meng Yu's eyes change slightly, and he glanced at him, he immediately laughed with embarrassment.Meng Yu was silent for a while and said, "Don't worry, she doesn't know anything, even if she knew something earlier, it's all on Zhang Mi's head, those old scores have already been settled."
"That's fine, that's fine..."
After talking for half a day, Meng Yuci was about to return home, and he couldn't help but close his eyes on the way, thinking about Pang Yunfan's absence from the government office in Tai'an Prefecture.Luo Tian's concerns were reasonable. Pang Yunfan's sudden leave of absence might have something to do with Dong Mo?
After thinking about it again, Pang Yunfan made this intermediate Baoshan himself, and in order to prevent him from betraying him in the future, he will share [-]% of the profits every time he returns.He himself is not clean, even if he doesn't care about both ends, he still has to take care of himself, there is no reason to surrender to others.
Thinking like this, when he came home, the old housekeeper greeted him at the door and announced, "Jingzhong has replied."
Meng Yu's complexion suddenly changed, and he and he went to the study.The old butler took out the letter and showed it to him. Meng Yu sat on the chair and looked at it carefully. After a while, she smiled and flicked the letter, "What do I say? There is no one in this world who doesn't love money. He takes the money." Yes, have you received a receipt?"
The old housekeeper took out another receipt and presented it, "Here. Master, you can rest assured this time, as long as you take our money, you won't be able to get rid of it. No matter what Mr. Dong finds out, we are not afraid of him." .”
Meng Yu folded the slip back into the envelope, stared at the inscription on the receipt and smiled, "No matter how tall a grandson is, he can't be taller than a grandpa."
This time, there was no need to think about Pang Yunfan's affairs, anyway, even if the sky fell, he would have a solid backer.He leaned back on the chair and smiled leisurely for a while, gradually, a trace of loneliness appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he lowered his head to glance at the receipt on the case again, with contempt in his eyes.
Things in the world are uncertain, who knows that in an instant, there will be an earth-shaking change.Pang Yunfan has been living in the county government office for the past few days, waiting impatiently. Unexpectedly, it is not Meng Yu's liquidation that is waiting, but Dong Mo.
"Master Dong?" Pang Yunfan glanced behind Dong Mo, but no one came in from behind, and the two guards closed the door.He bowed to Dong Mo, and hurried forward to ask: "Master Dong, since Mr. Meng wants to accuse me of adultery, why is it so late? Why should I have something to say? Put me under confinement. Here, there is still a lot of trouble on the other side of Tai'an Prefecture."
"The matter in Tai'an Prefecture has been asked by a colleague to take care of it temporarily. Don't worry, it's important to take care of your own affairs first. Please sit down."
Dong Mo sat down on the chair carelessly, and pointed slightly at the grand master's chair opposite.When Pang Yunfan was seated, he looked at him and smiled, "Actually, Mr. Pang Da is not worried at all. I guess you are thinking in your heart, you have evidence of Mr. Meng's crime in your hand, how could he sue you for the sake of a woman?" , It’s just a moment of anger, and you’re claustrophobic for a few days. You’ve been thinking this way these days, I’m not wrong, am I?”
Pang Yunfan's complexion changed slightly, just as the servants were serving tea, he sipped his tea, straightened his complexion, and frowned on the chair, "Mr. Dong's humble position doesn't make sense. What kind of evidence do I have from Mr. Meng?" ? What law did Mr. Meng break? You have confused me."
The guard closed the door and went out, even bringing out the sun, and the room was filled with dull smoke and dust.Dong Mo leaned against the back of the chair and didn't speak for a long time. His dark eyes made Pang Yunfan extremely uncomfortable. He adjusted his sitting posture again and again, and finally maintained his straight chest.
Dong Mo saw through his uneasiness, walked over with a smile, threw the handwritten contracts on the desk in his hand, and sat back quietly, "Your Excellency's own notes, you can't say you don't recognize them, right? "
Pang Yunfan only glanced at it before his face changed drastically. He couldn't understand that these things would fall into Dong Mo's hands. He twisted his flat eyebrows even more like two twisted caterpillars. you?"
Even if Meng Yao doesn't protect him, he should protect Meng Yu, after all, they are husband and wife, good and bad depend on each other.The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"It seems that Pang Da is a little ignorant." Dong Mo stretched his legs slightly to the sides, and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear that Miss Meng had something to do with me before? No wonder you didn't hear about it. The matter was secretly interrogated by the Chief Secretary. Now the entanglement is even more important, Mr. Meng has divorced his wife, and she is now my woman."
Pang Yunfan was stunned for a while, and murmured, "She lied to me? She lied to me that she wanted these things to separate from Meng Yu, to ask him to divorce his wife, and then with me..."
"Don't wrong her. It's good that she lied to you. It's true that she wants these things to fight Meng Yuyu, but not to you." As soon as the words fell, Dong Mo's expression changed, and he straightened up, "Don't say anything. It’s about the love between children, let me ask you, where’s the original deed?”
Pang Yunfan was still in a daze, but Dong Mo didn't have the patience to wait for him to come back to his senses. He shook his head suddenly, "You think I can't do anything about you if you don't speak up?! I can send people to Tai'an Prefecture right now with these things , Find out the original deed from your house. I am here to ask you now because you have parents in your family and a pregnant wife. If you don’t want to implicate them, then you can talk about the collusion between the government and businessmen to sell private salt If you tell me everything, I may ask the imperial court to send you lightly."
Pang Yunfan finally regained his composure and leaned back on his chair to argue, "It's nothing. Although we signed contracts with merchants to sell salt, what we were selling was not private salt, but the salt that had been paid for by the salt tax. Help local merchants to increase their income. When the merchants are well established and the local economy improves, the people will naturally have meat to eat."
"You have found a good excuse." Dong Mo sat up, took two steps in front of him, and glanced at him with a slanted smile, "But according to the price on the contract, each stone salt is lower than the market price by one penny. Sending salt to these people for free under the banner of the government? You don’t have to do such a thankless thing, right? I don’t have the time to listen to you talking nonsense here. If it is clear, I will send someone to Tai'an Prefecture to invite some merchants on the deed, and give them this opportunity to make meritorious deeds. I think they may not be as tough as you."
After speaking, without waiting for Pang Yunfan to say more, he walked out of the door.Liu Chaoru was waiting in the corridor early in the morning, and walked up two steps in a green men's suit, leading Dong Mo all the way out of the office, "I haven't had time to ask, why do you have the deed written by Pang Yunfan himself?"
Dong Mo scissored his hands and laughed, "It's a coincidence that Meng'er tricked him into getting this. She was going to use this to tear Meng Yu apart, but now it's useless to keep it, so I gave it to me."
"Sister Meng'er?" Now that Meng Yu is no longer Meng Yu's wife, Liu Chaoru doesn't know how to address her, so she can only call her "Sister" along with Mei Qing.
He was secretly thinking that Meng Yuan really had the ability to deceive Dong Mo before, but this time he deceived Pang Yunfan again.As for the means, it is not difficult to guess.But she didn't say much, just nodded with a smile, "Sister Meng'er is really capable. We have been worrying for so long, but she is easy to catch."
Dong Mo didn't hear if there was any other meaning in his words, so he just laughed a few times and then ignored it.One line at a time, one line at a time, "The deed was copied by Pang Yunfan himself, and he can't deny it. When he understands it, he will naturally ask you to explain it clearly. At that time, I will sort out the confession and send it to Tai'an Prefecture. Those merchants, Meng Yu cannot escape the blame this time."
Liu Chaoru replied, walking out of the yamen from time to time to see off Dong Mo Dengyu.Dong Mo settled down, then remembered something, opened the curtain and looked at him with a smile, "During the time Meng'er moved to my place, her mother and sister haven't visited yet. She said that she will hold banquets at home in the next few days. Please go and sit down. I will post for you at that time, please make room for it.”
In a blink of an eye, the two became cousins. Although they didn't have a proper name, Dong Mo looked like a newlywed, and his face was much happier than before, so Liu Chaoru couldn't talk about the troublesome things they couldn't figure out. , On the contrary, it seems to be a disappointment.
He responded with all his mouth, watched the chariots and horses passing by, smiled and shook his head behind him.With a sigh, the sun blows and the sun sinks.
When I returned home in the evening, I didn't see Mei Qing and the old lady.After calling Tongshan to ask, I realized that the two of them had gone to another house to visit.This is also strange, because of the hot weather recently, both of them don't like to go out, and they stay at home to cool off all day long.Today, under this poisonous sun, I don't know whose house I'm going to.
Tongshan held a bowl of cold porridge and two side dishes, and placed them on the table while taunting him with suspenseful eyes, "It is said that I went to Fuya Tongpan's house to congratulate his wife's birthday. I didn't say that the master , The two ladies of our family have more friends than you. No one in your county has posted invitations, but they have invited wives and old ladies."
"What's the matter? They used to be at Master Meng's house, so they naturally made friends with these people. If they are willing to send a post to invite them, they should go, even if they have not forgotten their relationship with them."
While speaking, Liu Chaoru sat down at the table and prepared to eat.Tong Shan walked around in front of him twice with porridge, and then put it down with a sneer, "This time, I gave gifts again. Are the two of our family willing to fall behind? I won't talk about wearing them, that's the gift, I But I see, it’s definitely not cheap to pack it in two exquisite brocade boxes, and I don’t know how much it cost.”
Liu Chaoru glanced at him, and took two mouthfuls of food coldly, "What does this have to do with you, they spend so much money, of course they are trying to please themselves."
"I wanted to impress you, but you didn't." Tong Shan held the wooden case in his arms, and stood slantedly, "You should persuade them, no matter who's money, they should check it out. They After all the money is spent, it’s not on you. Have you forgotten that they received those gifts from others behind your back? It’s been a while, keep your memory, and the final account will be yours!”
Go out without saying anything.Liu Chaoru was alone in the room, finished his meal, and read in the small study until the evening, but he still didn't see the mother and daughter returning home.
What Tong Shan said was quite right, the old lady and Mei Qing were indeed invited to Tongpan's house for his wife's birthday banquet.It is expected that all the women's wives and wives who used to come and go at the banquet, now that they have completely separated from Meng Yu's relationship, how can these people not look down on others?What's more, Mengyuan went with Dong Mo, neither a serious couple, nor even a concubine, and it was even more of a joke.
With this calculation, how could he fall behind again?More and more bejeweled.It was rare for the old lady to be generous, and she paid for Mei Qing's gift, and the two shared a golden silk braided bun and a gold hairpin with phoenix tail.
When they arrived, the old lady on the carriage horse mumbled: "I will celebrate my birthday on the day of the name change, and I will also invite these people here. How can the gift given away be given for nothing? It must be taken back!"
Mei Qing sneered, "In the small yard of our house, we can't put on a show if we set up a banquet, and it's a shame to invite others." As she spoke, another idea came to her mind.
When I went to the Lian family's mansion, I listened to the opera for half a day and ate wine for half a day. When I arrived at the banquet, the wine was left behind. It was getting late and the people had almost dispersed, but Mei Qing still lingered.The host's wife, Mrs. Lian, was busy seeing off the guests, asking them to sit on the chairs for a while, and seeing them off only when they came back.
The old lady sat next to Mei Qing on the chair, pinned her, and leaned her head, "Do you really want her to give it? What can I give you? If she is as caring as before, she should give it away first." We. Let us hang out here now, it can be seen that we are not taken seriously, why should we sit here and make fun of this. Let's go, let's go."
He was about to get up while speaking, but was dragged down by Mei Qing, "Oh my mother, if you sit still, it's fine to go back anyway."
Mrs. Lian's table was originally set up in the small hall outside, and after everyone had had their fill of wine, Mrs. Lian was ushered into her room to have tea and talk.At this moment, the lights were on in the room, the sky outside the door was dim, and the people coming and going were a bit complicated, so Mei Qing cast her eyes straight outside.
The old lady glanced at her, then looked out the door, "What are you looking at?" Seeing that Mei Qing didn't answer, she was a little impatient, "Look here, I'll go back first."
Mei Qing tugged at her again, and whispered in her ear for a while, only to see that the lamp seemed to be lit in the old lady's eyes, and it shone brightly in an instant.After finishing speaking, the old lady glanced at her with a smile, and curled her lips, "Look, it's still what I said, this person has this fate. But it's okay, you can see it now, it's not too late, I'm about to Finding a way to get money, isn't it faster and more expensive than waiting for those rents in the fields?"
As soon as the words fell, it really came just in time like rain, seeing Liantong Juan walking into the room.He was barely 45 years old, but he was skinny, his face was muscular, and only a piece of skin was left drooping, looking like he was [-].
There were two beards on his lips, and when he saw the two sitting here, the beard jumped in surprise and joy, jumped forward in two steps, and arched at the two, "Hey, I didn't see that it was the old lady and Miss Mei is sitting here. It's been a while since she disappeared, but the old lady still has her charm."
Then a pair of eyes landed on Mei Qing, and she blinked more and more treacherously, "Miss Mei. Ouch, I should be called Mrs. Madam, but I'm still used to calling you 'Miss Mei', don't you blame me?"
Mei Qing got up by her skirt, tilted her face downwards, smiled slightly and flirted with her, "Don't dare to say anything, my lord."
This flirtatious tilt of the head immediately made Lian Pan's heart go limp.It turned out that this Lianjuan had been thinking about Mei Qing in the early years, but Meng Yu didn't have anything to order him in those years, so he stared blankly at the flowers hanging on the branches, unable to pick them.
Now that the flower suddenly fell in front of his eyes, how could he be unhappy?Gladly, he glanced at the door, in case his wife sent the guests back.
Not seeing his wife, he was even more happy to smile, "Miss Mei left the cabinet that year. I should have gone, but I was not in Licheng at that time, and went to Yanzhou. Miss Mei hurried out of the cabinet without waiting for anyone. Once I went, I never saw it again!"
"Didn't you see it?" Mei Qing secretly cast a wink.
That connected sentence tends to be between comprehension and ignorance, and there are some undercurrents in the brows and eyes.But at this time the old lady politely said, "Your Madam is celebrating her birthday today, and invited us here. You see, we are waiting to say goodbye to her. She sent her off somewhere, and she hasn't returned yet."
"Probably because the conversation with the person at the door was delayed." Liantong judge was worried about her here, so he had to sit down and sit opposite, "Old lady, don't worry, sit with Miss Mei again, it's not good, I'm here, you always worry Walk away, but people will say that I am rude."
The old lady put on a little airs, trying to intimidate Mei Qing.Naturally, Mei Qing was "not good" to be connected with this to distinguish the future and the future, only between the four bright candles, her eyes overflowed.
That Tong Tong was sipping tea on the opposite side, and from time to time he used the cup to cover up his eyes on her, always thinking that she was a snow-white rabbit, sitting there motionless, but the white fur on her body was trembling.
He was about to say something, but seeing his wife come back, he stomped his feet and patted his skirts at the door and called out, "Look at me! I left the two of you here. Forgive me, forgive me! I really can't handle the many guests today." That's it. Just in time, you two don't rush to leave, go back after eating supper."
When I entered the door, I saw Tong Juan, and complained: "Hey, when did you come back? I'm here to accompany the guests. You go to another room and sit down."
Liantong judge smiled and stood up, "I also said to accompany the guests. When I entered the door, I saw the two of you sitting here. You don't know where you went. I hurriedly sat down to accompany you, so as not to make the two ladies feel slighted. You let the guests here and ignore it, it really makes people wonder what to say about you."
Mrs. Nalian didn't hide it from him, she scolded him in public, she gave him a secret look, and went out with his arms cut.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the old lady stand up appropriately and said to his wife: "We have to leave a long time ago, because I saw that the pair of shoes you were wearing were very good a while ago, I want to ask you to look like you, and I will call you when I go back." People compare to make a pair."
Although there is a difference in generation between the two, they are about the same age. The old lady has always been the youngest among her peers, and her dress is very iconic. Everyone always imitates her dress.
Now she asked Mrs. Lian for an excuse, which flattered Mrs. Lian, and hurriedly asked the girl to look for it, "What's wrong with that? Just take it, don't rush to return it."
"Thank you, I will ask Mei Qing to send it back to you in half a month."
Remembering the days, Lian Lian judged, glanced back at Mei Qing outside the threshold, coughed twice, and suddenly straightened up in the twilight with his rickety and thin bones, making a funny "upright" look, and turned around Entering the corridor, he disappeared.
Mei Qing's side also rolled back her eyes, took the shoes handed by the girl, thanked the old lady on her arm, and resigned from this house.
The sky fell, as if turned upside down, the sun and the moon turned upside down, and the days turned around, as if turning back to the past.
Only Mengyuan looked at the round of the moon and felt that it was a brand new round, different from yesterday's.She thinks she has got rid of the troubles of the past, and the days take her forward, every step is happy and smooth.Just don't touch the suspiciously distant future.
So she enjoys everything at present very much, the house is full of flowers, the girls are joking and joking, and the cat is lying on the window sill.There was a girl with a lamp in her palm, and she picked up one and put it on the kang table. She stretched her waist according to her dream, and then she also lay down on the window sill. One person and one cat looked at each other quietly, waiting for something.
Suddenly, low-pitched footsteps sounded from the corridor, Meng Ying jumped down the corridor from the window sill, and Meng Tiao lightly straightened her temples and came out of the screen.Sure enough, it was Dong Mo who came back, carrying a faint fragrance of wine, and walked around Meng Tiao, "Sorry, I'm late. The governor who ordered to go to Zhejiang passed by Jinan today and invited me to meet. "
Mengyu looked at him, he was not wearing men's clothes, but a dark blue round collar robe, and asked: "When did you come back to change the clothes, why don't I know?"
"Noon. You were taking a nap when I came back, so I didn't wake you up. I went out instead."
Dong Mo landed on the couch, the cat jumped onto his lap, Meng Yuan held it in his arms dissatisfied, and sat on Dong Mo's lap.At this time there was ice, and there was a large silver enamel tripod containing ice in the room, facing the door, the wind blew in, and the room was chilled everywhere.Meng Tiao is willing to cling to him.
When the maids saw him coming back, it was inconvenient to stay in the house. Two people were left on the porch to obey orders, and the rest went back to their rooms.Just now I was still laughing and joking, but suddenly it quieted down, the sound of groaning in the courtyard and the sound of rustling branches and leaves rolled into the window, like the sound of rain.
Mengyu remembered that it rained two days ago, Dong Mo smiled and said, "I don't like rain, but since you wrote that letter, I love to hear the sound of rain."
At that time, Mengyu thought about it for a while before remembering which letter it was, and his heart was soft, and he also became very fond of hearing this voice.She moved the lamp to the bottom of the window, and leaned against his chest with the cat in her arms.
Dong Mo leaned quietly for a while, and the original three-point alcoholism was blown away. He opened his eyes and touched Meng Yuan and the cat, "What are you doing at home all day?"
"I put my things that I didn't put in good order. It seems that they are scattered things, and it takes time and effort to put them back together." Mengyu said, leaning back into his arms to listen, probably after drinking. Because of this, the heart beats a little faster.
Dong Mo tilted his face to look at her, and saw that her face was flushed, whether it was rouge or something, it was still red from the bottom of the eyelids to the end of the eyes, and with a slanted touch, the winks were dazzling.Dong Mo's half-hearted eyes moved slightly, and he gradually rolled his hands into her lapel, "Do you miss me?"
Meng Yu raised her eyes, gave him a quick look, and held her bones limp in his arms, letting him rub her.From time to time, overflowing sounds made her frighten herself to glance at the window.Dong Mo smiled viciously and kissed her, then let her go and closed the door and window just now.
The dim light reflected the spring scenery, and the shadows of two hugs were embedded in the screen window, intertwined, moving upwards loosely and slowly, the movements were gentle or fierce, and the voice of killing people was melodious, ups and downs, saying It is not clear whether it is happiness or pain.
That voice came out from the crack of the window, and accompanied by a soft cry of "meow, meow, meow", a white shadow was also carefully thrown out from the crack of the window.
The fluffy ball landed steadily on the porch, looked around, but there was no one there, it shook its fluffy fur, jumped to the rocks at the entrance of the cave with its tail upright, basked in the moonlight, and looked at the flower shadow leisurely. window.
The author says:
That day Meng Yu went home, changed his clothes, and went to Luotian Mansion. The summer was hot, and the two were talking in a water pavilion.Luo Tian told Meng Yu about this matter, and Meng Yu thought about it for a moment before asking, "How did you know that?"
Luo Tian clasped the silk folding fan and slapped his palms, "I had some business dealings with Tai'an Prefecture two days ago, and I heard from the other end that Pang Yunfan has not been in the yamen for a long time, and he has been acting as an agent for Tan Anzhou's affairs by a colleague under his command." He was the one who asked the government office for leave, and went back to the hometown to visit relatives with his pregnant wife. At this juncture, why is he visiting relatives? I wonder if there is some other reason, so please tell me."
"His wife is pregnant. I've heard about it. It's true. Have you asked at the government office?"
"I have asked, and there is indeed a document for him to ask for leave."
"Then there's no need to be paranoid, Master Luo." Meng Yu leaned back on the chair and smiled, "Who hasn't thought about housework yet?"
When the word "private affairs" was mentioned, Luo Tianshu changed the conversation and became even more worried, "I heard that your previous wife went to live in Qingyu Garden where Dong Mo lived? Mr. Meng, your I don't want to get involved in private matters, but I don't mean to slap you in the face. I'm just afraid that Mrs. Meng has something to do with you, and will fall into Dong Mo's hands along with her? "
But seeing Meng Yu's eyes change slightly, and he glanced at him, he immediately laughed with embarrassment.Meng Yu was silent for a while and said, "Don't worry, she doesn't know anything, even if she knew something earlier, it's all on Zhang Mi's head, those old scores have already been settled."
"That's fine, that's fine..."
After talking for half a day, Meng Yuci was about to return home, and he couldn't help but close his eyes on the way, thinking about Pang Yunfan's absence from the government office in Tai'an Prefecture.Luo Tian's concerns were reasonable. Pang Yunfan's sudden leave of absence might have something to do with Dong Mo?
After thinking about it again, Pang Yunfan made this intermediate Baoshan himself, and in order to prevent him from betraying him in the future, he will share [-]% of the profits every time he returns.He himself is not clean, even if he doesn't care about both ends, he still has to take care of himself, there is no reason to surrender to others.
Thinking like this, when he came home, the old housekeeper greeted him at the door and announced, "Jingzhong has replied."
Meng Yu's complexion suddenly changed, and he and he went to the study.The old butler took out the letter and showed it to him. Meng Yu sat on the chair and looked at it carefully. After a while, she smiled and flicked the letter, "What do I say? There is no one in this world who doesn't love money. He takes the money." Yes, have you received a receipt?"
The old housekeeper took out another receipt and presented it, "Here. Master, you can rest assured this time, as long as you take our money, you won't be able to get rid of it. No matter what Mr. Dong finds out, we are not afraid of him." .”
Meng Yu folded the slip back into the envelope, stared at the inscription on the receipt and smiled, "No matter how tall a grandson is, he can't be taller than a grandpa."
This time, there was no need to think about Pang Yunfan's affairs, anyway, even if the sky fell, he would have a solid backer.He leaned back on the chair and smiled leisurely for a while, gradually, a trace of loneliness appeared at the corners of his mouth, and he lowered his head to glance at the receipt on the case again, with contempt in his eyes.
Things in the world are uncertain, who knows that in an instant, there will be an earth-shaking change.Pang Yunfan has been living in the county government office for the past few days, waiting impatiently. Unexpectedly, it is not Meng Yu's liquidation that is waiting, but Dong Mo.
"Master Dong?" Pang Yunfan glanced behind Dong Mo, but no one came in from behind, and the two guards closed the door.He bowed to Dong Mo, and hurried forward to ask: "Master Dong, since Mr. Meng wants to accuse me of adultery, why is it so late? Why should I have something to say? Put me under confinement. Here, there is still a lot of trouble on the other side of Tai'an Prefecture."
"The matter in Tai'an Prefecture has been asked by a colleague to take care of it temporarily. Don't worry, it's important to take care of your own affairs first. Please sit down."
Dong Mo sat down on the chair carelessly, and pointed slightly at the grand master's chair opposite.When Pang Yunfan was seated, he looked at him and smiled, "Actually, Mr. Pang Da is not worried at all. I guess you are thinking in your heart, you have evidence of Mr. Meng's crime in your hand, how could he sue you for the sake of a woman?" , It’s just a moment of anger, and you’re claustrophobic for a few days. You’ve been thinking this way these days, I’m not wrong, am I?”
Pang Yunfan's complexion changed slightly, just as the servants were serving tea, he sipped his tea, straightened his complexion, and frowned on the chair, "Mr. Dong's humble position doesn't make sense. What kind of evidence do I have from Mr. Meng?" ? What law did Mr. Meng break? You have confused me."
The guard closed the door and went out, even bringing out the sun, and the room was filled with dull smoke and dust.Dong Mo leaned against the back of the chair and didn't speak for a long time. His dark eyes made Pang Yunfan extremely uncomfortable. He adjusted his sitting posture again and again, and finally maintained his straight chest.
Dong Mo saw through his uneasiness, walked over with a smile, threw the handwritten contracts on the desk in his hand, and sat back quietly, "Your Excellency's own notes, you can't say you don't recognize them, right? "
Pang Yunfan only glanced at it before his face changed drastically. He couldn't understand that these things would fall into Dong Mo's hands. He twisted his flat eyebrows even more like two twisted caterpillars. you?"
Even if Meng Yao doesn't protect him, he should protect Meng Yu, after all, they are husband and wife, good and bad depend on each other.The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"It seems that Pang Da is a little ignorant." Dong Mo stretched his legs slightly to the sides, and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear that Miss Meng had something to do with me before? No wonder you didn't hear about it. The matter was secretly interrogated by the Chief Secretary. Now the entanglement is even more important, Mr. Meng has divorced his wife, and she is now my woman."
Pang Yunfan was stunned for a while, and murmured, "She lied to me? She lied to me that she wanted these things to separate from Meng Yu, to ask him to divorce his wife, and then with me..."
"Don't wrong her. It's good that she lied to you. It's true that she wants these things to fight Meng Yuyu, but not to you." As soon as the words fell, Dong Mo's expression changed, and he straightened up, "Don't say anything. It’s about the love between children, let me ask you, where’s the original deed?”
Pang Yunfan was still in a daze, but Dong Mo didn't have the patience to wait for him to come back to his senses. He shook his head suddenly, "You think I can't do anything about you if you don't speak up?! I can send people to Tai'an Prefecture right now with these things , Find out the original deed from your house. I am here to ask you now because you have parents in your family and a pregnant wife. If you don’t want to implicate them, then you can talk about the collusion between the government and businessmen to sell private salt If you tell me everything, I may ask the imperial court to send you lightly."
Pang Yunfan finally regained his composure and leaned back on his chair to argue, "It's nothing. Although we signed contracts with merchants to sell salt, what we were selling was not private salt, but the salt that had been paid for by the salt tax. Help local merchants to increase their income. When the merchants are well established and the local economy improves, the people will naturally have meat to eat."
"You have found a good excuse." Dong Mo sat up, took two steps in front of him, and glanced at him with a slanted smile, "But according to the price on the contract, each stone salt is lower than the market price by one penny. Sending salt to these people for free under the banner of the government? You don’t have to do such a thankless thing, right? I don’t have the time to listen to you talking nonsense here. If it is clear, I will send someone to Tai'an Prefecture to invite some merchants on the deed, and give them this opportunity to make meritorious deeds. I think they may not be as tough as you."
After speaking, without waiting for Pang Yunfan to say more, he walked out of the door.Liu Chaoru was waiting in the corridor early in the morning, and walked up two steps in a green men's suit, leading Dong Mo all the way out of the office, "I haven't had time to ask, why do you have the deed written by Pang Yunfan himself?"
Dong Mo scissored his hands and laughed, "It's a coincidence that Meng'er tricked him into getting this. She was going to use this to tear Meng Yu apart, but now it's useless to keep it, so I gave it to me."
"Sister Meng'er?" Now that Meng Yu is no longer Meng Yu's wife, Liu Chaoru doesn't know how to address her, so she can only call her "Sister" along with Mei Qing.
He was secretly thinking that Meng Yuan really had the ability to deceive Dong Mo before, but this time he deceived Pang Yunfan again.As for the means, it is not difficult to guess.But she didn't say much, just nodded with a smile, "Sister Meng'er is really capable. We have been worrying for so long, but she is easy to catch."
Dong Mo didn't hear if there was any other meaning in his words, so he just laughed a few times and then ignored it.One line at a time, one line at a time, "The deed was copied by Pang Yunfan himself, and he can't deny it. When he understands it, he will naturally ask you to explain it clearly. At that time, I will sort out the confession and send it to Tai'an Prefecture. Those merchants, Meng Yu cannot escape the blame this time."
Liu Chaoru replied, walking out of the yamen from time to time to see off Dong Mo Dengyu.Dong Mo settled down, then remembered something, opened the curtain and looked at him with a smile, "During the time Meng'er moved to my place, her mother and sister haven't visited yet. She said that she will hold banquets at home in the next few days. Please go and sit down. I will post for you at that time, please make room for it.”
In a blink of an eye, the two became cousins. Although they didn't have a proper name, Dong Mo looked like a newlywed, and his face was much happier than before, so Liu Chaoru couldn't talk about the troublesome things they couldn't figure out. , On the contrary, it seems to be a disappointment.
He responded with all his mouth, watched the chariots and horses passing by, smiled and shook his head behind him.With a sigh, the sun blows and the sun sinks.
When I returned home in the evening, I didn't see Mei Qing and the old lady.After calling Tongshan to ask, I realized that the two of them had gone to another house to visit.This is also strange, because of the hot weather recently, both of them don't like to go out, and they stay at home to cool off all day long.Today, under this poisonous sun, I don't know whose house I'm going to.
Tongshan held a bowl of cold porridge and two side dishes, and placed them on the table while taunting him with suspenseful eyes, "It is said that I went to Fuya Tongpan's house to congratulate his wife's birthday. I didn't say that the master , The two ladies of our family have more friends than you. No one in your county has posted invitations, but they have invited wives and old ladies."
"What's the matter? They used to be at Master Meng's house, so they naturally made friends with these people. If they are willing to send a post to invite them, they should go, even if they have not forgotten their relationship with them."
While speaking, Liu Chaoru sat down at the table and prepared to eat.Tong Shan walked around in front of him twice with porridge, and then put it down with a sneer, "This time, I gave gifts again. Are the two of our family willing to fall behind? I won't talk about wearing them, that's the gift, I But I see, it’s definitely not cheap to pack it in two exquisite brocade boxes, and I don’t know how much it cost.”
Liu Chaoru glanced at him, and took two mouthfuls of food coldly, "What does this have to do with you, they spend so much money, of course they are trying to please themselves."
"I wanted to impress you, but you didn't." Tong Shan held the wooden case in his arms, and stood slantedly, "You should persuade them, no matter who's money, they should check it out. They After all the money is spent, it’s not on you. Have you forgotten that they received those gifts from others behind your back? It’s been a while, keep your memory, and the final account will be yours!”
Go out without saying anything.Liu Chaoru was alone in the room, finished his meal, and read in the small study until the evening, but he still didn't see the mother and daughter returning home.
What Tong Shan said was quite right, the old lady and Mei Qing were indeed invited to Tongpan's house for his wife's birthday banquet.It is expected that all the women's wives and wives who used to come and go at the banquet, now that they have completely separated from Meng Yu's relationship, how can these people not look down on others?What's more, Mengyuan went with Dong Mo, neither a serious couple, nor even a concubine, and it was even more of a joke.
With this calculation, how could he fall behind again?More and more bejeweled.It was rare for the old lady to be generous, and she paid for Mei Qing's gift, and the two shared a golden silk braided bun and a gold hairpin with phoenix tail.
When they arrived, the old lady on the carriage horse mumbled: "I will celebrate my birthday on the day of the name change, and I will also invite these people here. How can the gift given away be given for nothing? It must be taken back!"
Mei Qing sneered, "In the small yard of our house, we can't put on a show if we set up a banquet, and it's a shame to invite others." As she spoke, another idea came to her mind.
When I went to the Lian family's mansion, I listened to the opera for half a day and ate wine for half a day. When I arrived at the banquet, the wine was left behind. It was getting late and the people had almost dispersed, but Mei Qing still lingered.The host's wife, Mrs. Lian, was busy seeing off the guests, asking them to sit on the chairs for a while, and seeing them off only when they came back.
The old lady sat next to Mei Qing on the chair, pinned her, and leaned her head, "Do you really want her to give it? What can I give you? If she is as caring as before, she should give it away first." We. Let us hang out here now, it can be seen that we are not taken seriously, why should we sit here and make fun of this. Let's go, let's go."
He was about to get up while speaking, but was dragged down by Mei Qing, "Oh my mother, if you sit still, it's fine to go back anyway."
Mrs. Lian's table was originally set up in the small hall outside, and after everyone had had their fill of wine, Mrs. Lian was ushered into her room to have tea and talk.At this moment, the lights were on in the room, the sky outside the door was dim, and the people coming and going were a bit complicated, so Mei Qing cast her eyes straight outside.
The old lady glanced at her, then looked out the door, "What are you looking at?" Seeing that Mei Qing didn't answer, she was a little impatient, "Look here, I'll go back first."
Mei Qing tugged at her again, and whispered in her ear for a while, only to see that the lamp seemed to be lit in the old lady's eyes, and it shone brightly in an instant.After finishing speaking, the old lady glanced at her with a smile, and curled her lips, "Look, it's still what I said, this person has this fate. But it's okay, you can see it now, it's not too late, I'm about to Finding a way to get money, isn't it faster and more expensive than waiting for those rents in the fields?"
As soon as the words fell, it really came just in time like rain, seeing Liantong Juan walking into the room.He was barely 45 years old, but he was skinny, his face was muscular, and only a piece of skin was left drooping, looking like he was [-].
There were two beards on his lips, and when he saw the two sitting here, the beard jumped in surprise and joy, jumped forward in two steps, and arched at the two, "Hey, I didn't see that it was the old lady and Miss Mei is sitting here. It's been a while since she disappeared, but the old lady still has her charm."
Then a pair of eyes landed on Mei Qing, and she blinked more and more treacherously, "Miss Mei. Ouch, I should be called Mrs. Madam, but I'm still used to calling you 'Miss Mei', don't you blame me?"
Mei Qing got up by her skirt, tilted her face downwards, smiled slightly and flirted with her, "Don't dare to say anything, my lord."
This flirtatious tilt of the head immediately made Lian Pan's heart go limp.It turned out that this Lianjuan had been thinking about Mei Qing in the early years, but Meng Yu didn't have anything to order him in those years, so he stared blankly at the flowers hanging on the branches, unable to pick them.
Now that the flower suddenly fell in front of his eyes, how could he be unhappy?Gladly, he glanced at the door, in case his wife sent the guests back.
Not seeing his wife, he was even more happy to smile, "Miss Mei left the cabinet that year. I should have gone, but I was not in Licheng at that time, and went to Yanzhou. Miss Mei hurried out of the cabinet without waiting for anyone. Once I went, I never saw it again!"
"Didn't you see it?" Mei Qing secretly cast a wink.
That connected sentence tends to be between comprehension and ignorance, and there are some undercurrents in the brows and eyes.But at this time the old lady politely said, "Your Madam is celebrating her birthday today, and invited us here. You see, we are waiting to say goodbye to her. She sent her off somewhere, and she hasn't returned yet."
"Probably because the conversation with the person at the door was delayed." Liantong judge was worried about her here, so he had to sit down and sit opposite, "Old lady, don't worry, sit with Miss Mei again, it's not good, I'm here, you always worry Walk away, but people will say that I am rude."
The old lady put on a little airs, trying to intimidate Mei Qing.Naturally, Mei Qing was "not good" to be connected with this to distinguish the future and the future, only between the four bright candles, her eyes overflowed.
That Tong Tong was sipping tea on the opposite side, and from time to time he used the cup to cover up his eyes on her, always thinking that she was a snow-white rabbit, sitting there motionless, but the white fur on her body was trembling.
He was about to say something, but seeing his wife come back, he stomped his feet and patted his skirts at the door and called out, "Look at me! I left the two of you here. Forgive me, forgive me! I really can't handle the many guests today." That's it. Just in time, you two don't rush to leave, go back after eating supper."
When I entered the door, I saw Tong Juan, and complained: "Hey, when did you come back? I'm here to accompany the guests. You go to another room and sit down."
Liantong judge smiled and stood up, "I also said to accompany the guests. When I entered the door, I saw the two of you sitting here. You don't know where you went. I hurriedly sat down to accompany you, so as not to make the two ladies feel slighted. You let the guests here and ignore it, it really makes people wonder what to say about you."
Mrs. Nalian didn't hide it from him, she scolded him in public, she gave him a secret look, and went out with his arms cut.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the old lady stand up appropriately and said to his wife: "We have to leave a long time ago, because I saw that the pair of shoes you were wearing were very good a while ago, I want to ask you to look like you, and I will call you when I go back." People compare to make a pair."
Although there is a difference in generation between the two, they are about the same age. The old lady has always been the youngest among her peers, and her dress is very iconic. Everyone always imitates her dress.
Now she asked Mrs. Lian for an excuse, which flattered Mrs. Lian, and hurriedly asked the girl to look for it, "What's wrong with that? Just take it, don't rush to return it."
"Thank you, I will ask Mei Qing to send it back to you in half a month."
Remembering the days, Lian Lian judged, glanced back at Mei Qing outside the threshold, coughed twice, and suddenly straightened up in the twilight with his rickety and thin bones, making a funny "upright" look, and turned around Entering the corridor, he disappeared.
Mei Qing's side also rolled back her eyes, took the shoes handed by the girl, thanked the old lady on her arm, and resigned from this house.
The sky fell, as if turned upside down, the sun and the moon turned upside down, and the days turned around, as if turning back to the past.
Only Mengyuan looked at the round of the moon and felt that it was a brand new round, different from yesterday's.She thinks she has got rid of the troubles of the past, and the days take her forward, every step is happy and smooth.Just don't touch the suspiciously distant future.
So she enjoys everything at present very much, the house is full of flowers, the girls are joking and joking, and the cat is lying on the window sill.There was a girl with a lamp in her palm, and she picked up one and put it on the kang table. She stretched her waist according to her dream, and then she also lay down on the window sill. One person and one cat looked at each other quietly, waiting for something.
Suddenly, low-pitched footsteps sounded from the corridor, Meng Ying jumped down the corridor from the window sill, and Meng Tiao lightly straightened her temples and came out of the screen.Sure enough, it was Dong Mo who came back, carrying a faint fragrance of wine, and walked around Meng Tiao, "Sorry, I'm late. The governor who ordered to go to Zhejiang passed by Jinan today and invited me to meet. "
Mengyu looked at him, he was not wearing men's clothes, but a dark blue round collar robe, and asked: "When did you come back to change the clothes, why don't I know?"
"Noon. You were taking a nap when I came back, so I didn't wake you up. I went out instead."
Dong Mo landed on the couch, the cat jumped onto his lap, Meng Yuan held it in his arms dissatisfied, and sat on Dong Mo's lap.At this time there was ice, and there was a large silver enamel tripod containing ice in the room, facing the door, the wind blew in, and the room was chilled everywhere.Meng Tiao is willing to cling to him.
When the maids saw him coming back, it was inconvenient to stay in the house. Two people were left on the porch to obey orders, and the rest went back to their rooms.Just now I was still laughing and joking, but suddenly it quieted down, the sound of groaning in the courtyard and the sound of rustling branches and leaves rolled into the window, like the sound of rain.
Mengyu remembered that it rained two days ago, Dong Mo smiled and said, "I don't like rain, but since you wrote that letter, I love to hear the sound of rain."
At that time, Mengyu thought about it for a while before remembering which letter it was, and his heart was soft, and he also became very fond of hearing this voice.She moved the lamp to the bottom of the window, and leaned against his chest with the cat in her arms.
Dong Mo leaned quietly for a while, and the original three-point alcoholism was blown away. He opened his eyes and touched Meng Yuan and the cat, "What are you doing at home all day?"
"I put my things that I didn't put in good order. It seems that they are scattered things, and it takes time and effort to put them back together." Mengyu said, leaning back into his arms to listen, probably after drinking. Because of this, the heart beats a little faster.
Dong Mo tilted his face to look at her, and saw that her face was flushed, whether it was rouge or something, it was still red from the bottom of the eyelids to the end of the eyes, and with a slanted touch, the winks were dazzling.Dong Mo's half-hearted eyes moved slightly, and he gradually rolled his hands into her lapel, "Do you miss me?"
Meng Yu raised her eyes, gave him a quick look, and held her bones limp in his arms, letting him rub her.From time to time, overflowing sounds made her frighten herself to glance at the window.Dong Mo smiled viciously and kissed her, then let her go and closed the door and window just now.
The dim light reflected the spring scenery, and the shadows of two hugs were embedded in the screen window, intertwined, moving upwards loosely and slowly, the movements were gentle or fierce, and the voice of killing people was melodious, ups and downs, saying It is not clear whether it is happiness or pain.
That voice came out from the crack of the window, and accompanied by a soft cry of "meow, meow, meow", a white shadow was also carefully thrown out from the crack of the window.
The fluffy ball landed steadily on the porch, looked around, but there was no one there, it shook its fluffy fur, jumped to the rocks at the entrance of the cave with its tail upright, basked in the moonlight, and looked at the flower shadow leisurely. window.
