marry a weak waist
Chapter 66
Ordinarily, it was late at night when Dong Mo returned home, and the sky was beautiful.Meng Tiaoyuan was staring blankly at the window, when he saw him enter the cave, he hurriedly threw down his cat's skirt and went to the porch.She was wearing a silk-colored double-breasted gown, which reflected the sunset, especially magnificent.
When Dong Mo saw her, his heart softened for a moment, and the power he had been lingering in his body disappeared, and he went to the bottom of the corridor and took her hand.Shuangshuang walked into the house, and the outside was setting meals, the dishes were clinking, like copper bells on the corner of the eaves, the melody was so appetizing.
Seeing the two sets of empty dishes on the table, Dong Mo embraced Meng Yuan and said, "Didn't you say that you should eat first when the time comes, so you don't have to wait for mine?"
Meng Yu curled her lips, "Today I sent a colorful dress out of the pavilion, and I ate a lot of snacks here and there, so I'm not hungry." After speaking, he remembered something, and hurriedly fetched the letter from the small study and handed it to Dong Mo, "Your family Quickly open the letter from Second Miss, and read it, is it about us?"
Dong Mo joked while opening the letter, "Why are you in such a hurry? It can be seen that you are wholeheartedly looking forward to marrying me." He also frowned slightly as he spoke. His second sister had never spoken privately to him, why did he think of it again? write a letter?
The two sat at the dining table, Meng Yuan picked up the bowl, but didn't take a bite, and stared at Dong Mo's face with his teeth gritted, and when Dong Mo put down the letter, he followed up and asked, "What did you say?"
The letter didn't mention anything about Dong Mo and Meng Yuan. It said that the second lady's father-in-law had died of illness. The second lady and her husband had returned to their hometown after helping their spirits a month ago. When it arrives, I am afraid that we will be stranded in Jinan to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
Now Mengyu couldn't eat anymore, the stool seemed to be on fire, unable to sit still, she quickly put down the bowl and asked: "Second Miss is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jinan, do you want to live with us?" , I regretted that I asked so much, and said: "How many people came from her side? Is your second sister fierce? How old is she? And what kind of person is she?"
Dong Mo handed the letter to Xiechun, turned back and picked up the bowl, with a nonchalant expression, "The husband and wife brought some servants, probably a dozen or so. We have a big garden here, and we packed up a few rooms on the north side of the garden for them. Stay here and don't disturb each other."
"It's not that I'm afraid of disturbance." Meng Tiao's face was full of anxiety, seeing that he was calm, he raised his voice even more, "Oh, why don't you understand! Your second sister is probably ordered by your family to take the opportunity to come here Check and check me! Or why your family has not replied for a long time, because she wants to come and see in person, so there is no need to reply."
"You're right." Dong Mo still smiled lightly, lifting his chin towards her, "Eat."
Where can Meng Tiao still eat, clutching the handkerchief on the seat, anxious to left and right, feeling that something is wrong, I don't know where to start.
After half a day, I came up with an urgent matter, "No, your second sister came and saw that I live here too, what can you say? You and I don't even talk about getting married, even if we don't even have an appointment with a matchmaker, I'm a wife I live in a man's house for no apparent reason, even if I have a long mouth all over, I can't tell! I have to move out first."
Dong Mo glanced lightly, "Where are you going to move? You'll be there in a few days. Could it be that you're renting a house outside now? It's too late. Besides, I'm worried about you living outside alone."
"What's there to worry about? I used to live alone in Xiaochanhua Alley for a while. How about I move to Shuwang to stay for a while, and then move back when your second sister and the others return to Beijing."
Dong Mo took a mouthful of rice, chewed it for a while, and put the bowl down, "Don't bother, if my second sister really wants to know, she can ask. Even if you move out now, she will know about your previous experience. What's the difference if you live here? Why bother?"
"Then how do I explain?!"
"If she asks, you can just say it straight, it's boring to be secretive." Dong Mo smiled face-to-face, with a leisurely attitude, "Don't worry, eat first."
Meng Tiao picked up the bowl, but couldn't sit still, secretly checked the calculations, the past and the past rushed to his face, it was really wrong, and he couldn't explain everything clearly.There are a lot of troubles in front of me, but I don't know which one to worry about.
When it was time to hold the lamp, Dong Mo still had some official documents that he hadn't read, so he bowed his head in the case.Meng Tiao dragged Xie Chun into the bedroom to talk, lighting up a room brightly, as if to embolden himself.
She filled the bag of cigarettes and smacked them, holding the tobacco rod with frown, and exhaled streams of melancholy, "Xiechun, what kind of person is your second lady? What do you usually like?"
Xie Chun was making a pair of shoe uppers, paused for a while, then smiled and said: "Among the three girls in our family, the second girl is the most elegant and dignified. After conditioning, her appearance and behavior are all ladylike. She has been studying since she was a child, proficient in writing and ink, and is good at piano and painting. She is not a fierce person, but she doesn't talk much. A little afraid of her."
"Zhang Ping is also afraid of her?"
"That's nothing." Xie Chun smiled with a half-sagging face, embroidering half a graceful peony with light yellow petals and a few strands of gold thread.
She was also as indifferent as Dong Mo, and Xu Xu said: "I used to stay at home and study in a closed room. I didn't talk and joke with my brothers and sisters very much. I can't say whether I'm afraid or not. Girls don't have to be afraid of anything, it's just what I said What did the second lady really want to know about that sentence, not to mention you girl, even the three generations of your family can figure it out clearly, you can’t hide it from a girl, so ask your gender to waste that matter. Here she comes, Let’s treat each other with respect and courtesy.”
Mengyu fell silent, before the person arrived, her husband showed some invisible weakness, like a villain who committed crimes, was taken away, and was just waiting to be heard, everything struggling under the solemn judge's seat It is futile.
She exhaled the smoke helplessly, lowered her head in the thick billowing smoke, "You're right, I asked these unnecessary things, and I'm the one who said it out of a guilty conscience."
Xie Chun couldn't help but comfort her, but Meng Tiao still couldn't stop moaning while sleeping on the bed at night.She opened her eyes, staring blankly at the moon outside the window.
Dong Mo's chest was like a vast ground, rising and falling regularly in his deep sleep.The moon floated above, unprecedentedly vast, overwhelmingly pressing towards people.In this thick night, only she can see it, so she feels a kind of lonely panic.
After all, it was Dong Mo's family who came, so he naturally took his time and went out to attend to his official duties the next day.Meng Tiao was a little annoyed because he couldn't empathize with him, so he got up early in the morning without saying a word to him, just sat on the couch and watched him wash and eat.
The sky gradually changed from the white of the fish belly to the yolk of the egg, Meng Tiao sat on the couch in the bedroom from the couch outside, rarely got up early, but was bored and bored there, the cat came to rub her head against her, she drove it off annoyed , fingers only digging at the mattress on the couch, according to the dark pattern of a jasmine flower, trying to dig a hole to hide in.
Dong Mo glanced at her several times, before going out, wearing a dark green robe, hugged her on the couch, and persuaded her softly, "The person hasn't come yet, it's useless for you to be anxious, what are you doing frowning so early? Yesterday I didn't eat a few mouthfuls of dinner, but today is fine, so I didn't even eat breakfast."
Meng Tiao pressed one leg under the other, with an embroidered shoe hanging down, aimlessly dangling under the couch, and cast a glance at him, "I'm no better than you, it's delicious and sleepy." Anyway, it's your sister who came here, not mine. You are a family with broken bones and joints. She won't blame you if she sees something wrong, so you naturally think it's okay. "
Dong Mo wrapped his arms around her shoulders, tilted his face to comfort her, "You know the situation between me and my family, and there is nothing to blame. It's just that the matter is over, you and I will have to face them sooner or later. I can't find a way out in a hurry. Don't worry, just be obedient and eat some food, okay?"
As he spoke, he called Xie Chun out of the curtain and came in to order, "Just now, I asked the kitchen to steam another bowl of fresh whitebait eggs, the girl loves it."
I don't want Mengyu to throw his face aside, "I can't eat, don't eat. Who is like you, who doesn't take everything seriously, and doesn't delay anything if he eats and sleeps well."
Since we met, she has rarely been so sarcastic and mean, and it was so easy for her to express Dong Mo's old sickness. She only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. After coughing for a while, her voice turned a little cold Stiff, and put his arms on his knees, "Are you so happy that I can't eat or sleep?"
Just don't say anything, once you say it, you completely ignite Meng Tiao's fire, suddenly turned your head, raised your lips with sideways eyes, "It's so boring, it has nothing to do with me whether you eat or sleep, anyway, whether I eat or sleep or not Sleeping has nothing to do with you, who told you to talk too much about me? You are busy with your own affairs, and it is rare to take time out to talk to me, and you even provoke me for nothing, and I will panic for you. You have something to do , just go about your business, so as not to get angry at each other with big eyes and small eyes here!"
Dong Mo was not used to quarreling with others, so when he sat down for a while, seeing her squinting eyes like knives, he felt bored.Then he stood up, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Meng Tiao opened his eyes wide in the back, watched him go out, and wanted to shout in his heart, but he didn't make a sound in the end, and ignored him angrily.In a fit of anger, he ate a bowl of steamed whitebait eggs brought by Xiechun.After eating, I was angry again.
At noon, when Dong Mo used to go home, no one came back.Meng Tiao only thought that Dong Mo didn't want to go home on purpose, so he simply sent a young man to find Dong Mo and pass a message, "Just tell him not to come home, so that we won't look angry at each other!"
The boy looked at Xie Chun, Xie Chun was someone from here, he was making shoe uppers with a smile on his side, calmly helping out, "Just pass on the message, what are you afraid of."
When Mengyu heard it, he felt anxious.But if you want to take back the water that was spilled when you say it, it will be unsightly, so he slammed the boy with a cold look, "Go quickly, just follow my words, and you are not allowed to change a single word."
Originally, Dong Mo was going home. He had just sorted out the taxes of another province, and was about to leave. When he came out of the government office, he bumped into a young man who was chatting with the young man next to him in front of the carriage. , you push me, I push yours and watch him go up and down the stone pedal.
Dong Mo walked down the steps and raised his eyebrows at the two, "What's the matter?"
The boy came to the house and pulled the short brown, lowered his head and knocked: "The girl said that I don't have to go home in a hurry. Anyway, I will look angry when I go home."
Immediately, Dong Mo's face turned pale, Deng Yu sat down, was gloomy for a while, and couldn't go back in a fit of anger, and ordered the servant to set up a table in the restaurant, and invited Shao Wan to discuss the matter of the saltworks.
At the meeting, he asked Shao Yuan to keep an eye on the movement of the salt field, and Shao Yuan replied that Meng Yu came back from Tai'an Prefecture, and although the contract was signed, there was no movement from the other side of the salt field.
The flowers in the room moved, and the oblique light covered half of Dong Mo's face, shining goldenly on his cold white skin, like snow on a sunny day, a warm iceman.Shao Wan watched his face, and couldn't help but cautiously probed, "Did Meng Yu regret it when he thought about it?"
Dong Mo shook his head, "Probably because he disagreed with Luo Tian's opinion, so he delayed. Luo Tian was a little scared, but he had no idea, so he had to listen to Meng Yu's words in the end. Wait patiently. Since Meng Yu signed those contracts, he just wanted to I'm clear, and I won't go back on my word easily."
Shao Wan nodded in agreement, and suddenly fell silent. He hurriedly held the pot to sieve wine for Dong Mo. Dong Mo then raised his face, with a gentle look on his face, "Oh, Sir Shao, you are welcome. Please eat as you like."
"My lord, you're welcome." Shao Wan sat down and smiled, "It's rare for your lord to entertain guests outside. It's a great honor to be humble."
Dong Mo also smiled helplessly, "It's quiet outside, but it's noisy at home."
Shao Wan's heart is sharp, it seems that he is worried about housework, so he drinks with him by the side.
Dong Mo didn't talk much, the two men negotiated official business, and there was nothing to talk about, so it's not good to ask people to sit here, and the banquet will be over after half an hour.Walking to the street, tourists are like ants, slowly flowing under the boring sun.
He was thinking about going home, but he was afraid that he would still be angry if he bumped into Mengyu when he went back.Although he knew that Meng Yuan was not at him, but the two of them talked in a hurry, and they blushed for no reason, which was not interesting.So he joined the crowd and asked the boy to drive behind him, while he walked along the street under the scorching sun to relax.
Passing past a carriage, the boy driving the carriage lifted the curtain lightly, turned his head and said to the interior of the carriage: "That's not Master Dong, sir, do you want to go down and say hello?"
Meng Yu opened her eyes and looked out, and saw Dong Mo walking aimlessly beside those shops. Even though he walked like flowing water and stopped like pine trees, he could still see some faint worries from his calm eyes.
It seems that Meng Tiao has been stunned, so that he has a home and cannot return.Meng Yu is very experienced in this way, Meng Tiao's temperament is just like her mother's sister, it's hard to hear, it's like a steel knife.
Unexpectedly, she treated Dong Mo the same way.He felt a little happy, and still closed his eyes, "I won't go, just go home."
Meng Yu's room just came out of Luo Tian's residence, just as Dong Mo guessed, Luo Tian hesitated three times on the matter of paying out the salt, and Dong Mo checked the account.But he couldn't bear to let the money go without making any money, so he discussed it with Meng Yu several times.
He was hesitant, but Meng Yu only had one sentence: "Dong Mozhen has found out something, if he doesn't do it, he will die, if he does it, he will die. If he doesn't find out, it's a small matter for us to lose a fortune, but it's a big deal for us to lose our trust." , who will do business with us in the future?"
Luo Tian hesitated to think about his words, and finally made up his mind today, and invited him to discuss the issue of salt.However, as soon as Meng Yu came out of the Luo Mansion, her expression was not bright, but she was a little frustrated.
Giving out salt this time is tantamount to giving someone a handle. He knows very well that this is probably Dong Mo's game, and it may be a dead end.But he can only gamble once, and maybe he can still earn a way out of death.I bumped into Dong Mo on the street and brought up his uneasiness again. When I got home, I went to the study to take out the receipt and look at it again.
The strange handwriting on it will be the only bargaining chip in front of him, and also the backing after an accident.
Going back to her room for dinner from time to time, Yinlian was playing with her baby on the couch.The kang table was lifted to the ground, she shook a rattle in front to seduce, and the child giggled and crawled towards her.There was a silver bell on the child's ankle, and the clear and joyful ringing made Meng Yu think of the teasing like a spring water in the past.
Yinlian would never talk like her, she held a lip knife and slashed in all directions, and she was faintly happy when the people around her were cut to the point of bleeding and crying.Even Yinlian talked softly to the people below, as if she was afraid of offending someone.
Seeing Meng Yu coming in, she hurriedly asked the nurse to take the baby down and bring up the Kang table, so that everything could be restored to the original state.Then he ordered the dinner to be served, and came back to ask Meng Yu, "Have you had dinner at Master Luo's house?"
Meng Yu shook her head, leaned back on the high couch pillow, looked at the algae well and muttered, "Futuan will be able to climb."
"He can still stand up after touching him." Yinlian smiled and sat beside him, she found a fan somewhere, hung it on his face and fanned it lightly, "You have been busy all this time, so you went to Tai'an Prefecture again , he will be able to stand for half a month when you go, but he can't walk."
Most of the time, Meng Yu misses Meng Yuan's meanness in this tenderness.He calculated it himself, probably because he was used to suffering since he was a child, which made him feel more complacent in the face of harsh words.He always kept a place for Meng Tiao in his heart, as if he kept the memory of his down and out past.Therefore, after such a long time, he still hasn't straightened Yinlian.
He didn't mention it, and Yinlian didn't open her mouth to ask, she worked hard every day to care for her husband and teach her children, without complaining a word.Meng Yu looked up at her, as if realizing her conscience, she stroked her face tenderly, "Did you go out yesterday?"
"Well, I went to Hong's house for dinner."
"Which Hong family?"
The girl came in with three food boxes, and Yinlian threw down her fan and got up to help set the meal, "It's your Chief Secretary, Mr. Hong. Didn't he betroth Caiyi? Even the one you met yesterday, post a post too." I was invited, but I couldn’t push it, so I had to go.”
Meng Yu sat up and wanted to ask something, but Yin Lian just turned around the round case and passed.She bent her waist slightly, and at some point, a little flesh overflowed from her waist.It is said that women who become wives tend to gain weight. Although Yinlian is not a wife, she has no hair on her head, and she is no different from a wife.
But her fatness is definitely not for enjoyment. Meng Yu knew that because she pretended to have something in her heart and couldn't speak it out, her heart sank to the bottom, so she swelled and thickened her waist.Her thoughts are nothing but related to him, and he can guess, without dreams, without any obstacles, she starts to want his love.But because what he said in the past was too righteous, it is difficult to say it now.
In fact, this was just a woman's normal request. It was he who deprived her of the qualification to request, and I always felt a little guilty, so I couldn't ask about Meng Tiao's words.
The table was full of precious delicacies, and Meng Yu also sat down and took up the bowl to say his plan: "I'm afraid there are some things in the yamen recently. If there is any change at home, don't panic and take good care of the blessing group. The blessing group is still here. When you were a baby, you might not be implicated if something happened. I have not returned the lease on the house in Yunsheng Lane, if your home is raided, you can move there to live temporarily."
"What's the matter?" Yinlian's face changed suddenly, and her eyes were pale.
Meng Yu looked at her and forced a smile, "I'm afraid I will be imprisoned, but don't worry, you might be able to escape unscathed. I told you not to panic. Look, you've already been so frightened before the incident happened. .”
Yinlian was stunned for a long time, then suddenly she was trembling with tears, she couldn't hold the bowl, she hurriedly put it on the table, "What happened?"
It was difficult for Meng Yu to explain to her that she knew absolutely nothing about official affairs.He was a little bored, put down the bowl, and turned back to the couch, "Ask me, you don't understand what you said. You cry or cry, I knew I wouldn't even tell you these words. You just listen to me." Just do it."
As he spoke, he glanced at her impatiently.Yinlian hurriedly wiped away her tears, choked with sobs and wanted to ask those she didn't dare to ask, she lowered her face and remained silent.Meng Yu looked at her again, and her heart softened again. She went to hug her, pressed her head on her belly and felt it, "If you cry again, I'll go out to sleep tonight."
Yinlian wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his stomach, and cried even harder.A sea of tears soaked his clothes, just like when she was lying on his lap, she was equally helpless, and also made him think of dreams.
The dusk outside the slanted door is slowly sinking, the red bean fruits borne by the red cedar trees are particularly bright and abrupt in the golden color, and all the dark green outside the cave door is falling into the darkness, and those red bean fruits are a little weird and eye-catching.
Meng Yu leaned on the window and stared at them, feeling desolate in his heart.Dong Mo still didn't come back, and she really didn't come back according to her words, which really made her nose sore.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the dim light of the cave door flickered, and Dong Mo's dark green shadow, like a layer of color faded from a green tree, slowly rushed towards the cave gate, getting lighter as it got closer.
She hurriedly retracted her neck into the window, wiped it left and right, and wiped away the two tears, and she was coiled on the couch holding the veil embroidered with her like nothing happened.
Dong Mo walked into the bedroom, seeing her with a cold and indifferent face, without raising her eyes, and the words she had just written in her stomach were lost, and she couldn't think of what to say to her.After searching around, I went to light a lamp and walked to the bed, "Why don't you light the lamp? Wouldn't it hurt your eyes to do this work?"
"What does it have to do with you if my eyesight is broken?" Meng Yu picked up his eyes, and had to roll his eyelids again in the gap before he would fall down, "Even if I am blind, it has nothing to do with you."
Dong Mo stood in front of her in embarrassment, pursed his lips, and bent down to catch her eyes, "Still angry? So angry?"
Meng Tiao turned around slightly, ignoring him.Dong Mo had no choice but to sit on the couch at the other end and didn't speak.At the end of the day, the girl came in to hold the lamps, lit five or six lamps, then turned around and asked Dong Mo, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"No."
The girl got up in a hurry, and hurried to go outside to order the food to be served, and when she opened the curtain, she heard Dong Mo say, "Don't be too busy, I won't eat."
The girl hesitated a few times, so she had to let the curtain go out.After a while behind, Xie Chun came in again holding her little girl behind the curtain and asked: "Why don't you eat if you haven't eaten? When is your lunch?"
"It's about time."
"Then you should be hungry at this meeting. Let's order the meal."
Dong Mo waved his sleeves, and shook the little girl's hand in her arms.The girl grabbed one of his fingers and giggled.Meng Tiao also looked at the little girl, took advantage of the opportunity to glance at him, and held his breath viciously without saying a word.
Xie Chunhou glanced at her, knowing that she felt sorry for Dong Mo for not eating, and she was too angry to open her mouth, so she opened her mouth to persuade her, "Eat when you are hungry, what if you are sick because of hunger?"
Dong Mosan said with a faint smile: "It's better not to eat. For me to eat well and sleep well, some people feel very unhappy. If I don't eat or sleep, maybe her heart will be smoother." .”
Xie Chun took a look at Meng Yuan, saw her chest panting and shoulders bent, gnashing her teeth, she smiled and carried the little girl out.
As soon as the curtain fell, Meng Yu threw down the curtain, and the candle flicked with the wind in his sleeve, "What do you mean? Is it because I want you to stop eating and sleeping?"
Dong Mo smiled indifferently, "If you don't eat, you won't starve to death. You made me so hungry in the morning that I couldn't eat. Now I will pay you for the hungry meal and let you go."
Meng Tiao was so angry that his heart and lungs hurt, he gritted his teeth and hated him, and came up with a breath, and fell down on the kang table, sobbing and crying.
The author says:
The second sister hasn't arrived yet, let the two quarrel first.
When Dong Mo saw her, his heart softened for a moment, and the power he had been lingering in his body disappeared, and he went to the bottom of the corridor and took her hand.Shuangshuang walked into the house, and the outside was setting meals, the dishes were clinking, like copper bells on the corner of the eaves, the melody was so appetizing.
Seeing the two sets of empty dishes on the table, Dong Mo embraced Meng Yuan and said, "Didn't you say that you should eat first when the time comes, so you don't have to wait for mine?"
Meng Yu curled her lips, "Today I sent a colorful dress out of the pavilion, and I ate a lot of snacks here and there, so I'm not hungry." After speaking, he remembered something, and hurriedly fetched the letter from the small study and handed it to Dong Mo, "Your family Quickly open the letter from Second Miss, and read it, is it about us?"
Dong Mo joked while opening the letter, "Why are you in such a hurry? It can be seen that you are wholeheartedly looking forward to marrying me." He also frowned slightly as he spoke. His second sister had never spoken privately to him, why did he think of it again? write a letter?
The two sat at the dining table, Meng Yuan picked up the bowl, but didn't take a bite, and stared at Dong Mo's face with his teeth gritted, and when Dong Mo put down the letter, he followed up and asked, "What did you say?"
The letter didn't mention anything about Dong Mo and Meng Yuan. It said that the second lady's father-in-law had died of illness. The second lady and her husband had returned to their hometown after helping their spirits a month ago. When it arrives, I am afraid that we will be stranded in Jinan to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
Now Mengyu couldn't eat anymore, the stool seemed to be on fire, unable to sit still, she quickly put down the bowl and asked: "Second Miss is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jinan, do you want to live with us?" , I regretted that I asked so much, and said: "How many people came from her side? Is your second sister fierce? How old is she? And what kind of person is she?"
Dong Mo handed the letter to Xiechun, turned back and picked up the bowl, with a nonchalant expression, "The husband and wife brought some servants, probably a dozen or so. We have a big garden here, and we packed up a few rooms on the north side of the garden for them. Stay here and don't disturb each other."
"It's not that I'm afraid of disturbance." Meng Tiao's face was full of anxiety, seeing that he was calm, he raised his voice even more, "Oh, why don't you understand! Your second sister is probably ordered by your family to take the opportunity to come here Check and check me! Or why your family has not replied for a long time, because she wants to come and see in person, so there is no need to reply."
"You're right." Dong Mo still smiled lightly, lifting his chin towards her, "Eat."
Where can Meng Tiao still eat, clutching the handkerchief on the seat, anxious to left and right, feeling that something is wrong, I don't know where to start.
After half a day, I came up with an urgent matter, "No, your second sister came and saw that I live here too, what can you say? You and I don't even talk about getting married, even if we don't even have an appointment with a matchmaker, I'm a wife I live in a man's house for no apparent reason, even if I have a long mouth all over, I can't tell! I have to move out first."
Dong Mo glanced lightly, "Where are you going to move? You'll be there in a few days. Could it be that you're renting a house outside now? It's too late. Besides, I'm worried about you living outside alone."
"What's there to worry about? I used to live alone in Xiaochanhua Alley for a while. How about I move to Shuwang to stay for a while, and then move back when your second sister and the others return to Beijing."
Dong Mo took a mouthful of rice, chewed it for a while, and put the bowl down, "Don't bother, if my second sister really wants to know, she can ask. Even if you move out now, she will know about your previous experience. What's the difference if you live here? Why bother?"
"Then how do I explain?!"
"If she asks, you can just say it straight, it's boring to be secretive." Dong Mo smiled face-to-face, with a leisurely attitude, "Don't worry, eat first."
Meng Tiao picked up the bowl, but couldn't sit still, secretly checked the calculations, the past and the past rushed to his face, it was really wrong, and he couldn't explain everything clearly.There are a lot of troubles in front of me, but I don't know which one to worry about.
When it was time to hold the lamp, Dong Mo still had some official documents that he hadn't read, so he bowed his head in the case.Meng Tiao dragged Xie Chun into the bedroom to talk, lighting up a room brightly, as if to embolden himself.
She filled the bag of cigarettes and smacked them, holding the tobacco rod with frown, and exhaled streams of melancholy, "Xiechun, what kind of person is your second lady? What do you usually like?"
Xie Chun was making a pair of shoe uppers, paused for a while, then smiled and said: "Among the three girls in our family, the second girl is the most elegant and dignified. After conditioning, her appearance and behavior are all ladylike. She has been studying since she was a child, proficient in writing and ink, and is good at piano and painting. She is not a fierce person, but she doesn't talk much. A little afraid of her."
"Zhang Ping is also afraid of her?"
"That's nothing." Xie Chun smiled with a half-sagging face, embroidering half a graceful peony with light yellow petals and a few strands of gold thread.
She was also as indifferent as Dong Mo, and Xu Xu said: "I used to stay at home and study in a closed room. I didn't talk and joke with my brothers and sisters very much. I can't say whether I'm afraid or not. Girls don't have to be afraid of anything, it's just what I said What did the second lady really want to know about that sentence, not to mention you girl, even the three generations of your family can figure it out clearly, you can’t hide it from a girl, so ask your gender to waste that matter. Here she comes, Let’s treat each other with respect and courtesy.”
Mengyu fell silent, before the person arrived, her husband showed some invisible weakness, like a villain who committed crimes, was taken away, and was just waiting to be heard, everything struggling under the solemn judge's seat It is futile.
She exhaled the smoke helplessly, lowered her head in the thick billowing smoke, "You're right, I asked these unnecessary things, and I'm the one who said it out of a guilty conscience."
Xie Chun couldn't help but comfort her, but Meng Tiao still couldn't stop moaning while sleeping on the bed at night.She opened her eyes, staring blankly at the moon outside the window.
Dong Mo's chest was like a vast ground, rising and falling regularly in his deep sleep.The moon floated above, unprecedentedly vast, overwhelmingly pressing towards people.In this thick night, only she can see it, so she feels a kind of lonely panic.
After all, it was Dong Mo's family who came, so he naturally took his time and went out to attend to his official duties the next day.Meng Tiao was a little annoyed because he couldn't empathize with him, so he got up early in the morning without saying a word to him, just sat on the couch and watched him wash and eat.
The sky gradually changed from the white of the fish belly to the yolk of the egg, Meng Tiao sat on the couch in the bedroom from the couch outside, rarely got up early, but was bored and bored there, the cat came to rub her head against her, she drove it off annoyed , fingers only digging at the mattress on the couch, according to the dark pattern of a jasmine flower, trying to dig a hole to hide in.
Dong Mo glanced at her several times, before going out, wearing a dark green robe, hugged her on the couch, and persuaded her softly, "The person hasn't come yet, it's useless for you to be anxious, what are you doing frowning so early? Yesterday I didn't eat a few mouthfuls of dinner, but today is fine, so I didn't even eat breakfast."
Meng Tiao pressed one leg under the other, with an embroidered shoe hanging down, aimlessly dangling under the couch, and cast a glance at him, "I'm no better than you, it's delicious and sleepy." Anyway, it's your sister who came here, not mine. You are a family with broken bones and joints. She won't blame you if she sees something wrong, so you naturally think it's okay. "
Dong Mo wrapped his arms around her shoulders, tilted his face to comfort her, "You know the situation between me and my family, and there is nothing to blame. It's just that the matter is over, you and I will have to face them sooner or later. I can't find a way out in a hurry. Don't worry, just be obedient and eat some food, okay?"
As he spoke, he called Xie Chun out of the curtain and came in to order, "Just now, I asked the kitchen to steam another bowl of fresh whitebait eggs, the girl loves it."
I don't want Mengyu to throw his face aside, "I can't eat, don't eat. Who is like you, who doesn't take everything seriously, and doesn't delay anything if he eats and sleeps well."
Since we met, she has rarely been so sarcastic and mean, and it was so easy for her to express Dong Mo's old sickness. She only felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. After coughing for a while, her voice turned a little cold Stiff, and put his arms on his knees, "Are you so happy that I can't eat or sleep?"
Just don't say anything, once you say it, you completely ignite Meng Tiao's fire, suddenly turned your head, raised your lips with sideways eyes, "It's so boring, it has nothing to do with me whether you eat or sleep, anyway, whether I eat or sleep or not Sleeping has nothing to do with you, who told you to talk too much about me? You are busy with your own affairs, and it is rare to take time out to talk to me, and you even provoke me for nothing, and I will panic for you. You have something to do , just go about your business, so as not to get angry at each other with big eyes and small eyes here!"
Dong Mo was not used to quarreling with others, so when he sat down for a while, seeing her squinting eyes like knives, he felt bored.Then he stood up, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Meng Tiao opened his eyes wide in the back, watched him go out, and wanted to shout in his heart, but he didn't make a sound in the end, and ignored him angrily.In a fit of anger, he ate a bowl of steamed whitebait eggs brought by Xiechun.After eating, I was angry again.
At noon, when Dong Mo used to go home, no one came back.Meng Tiao only thought that Dong Mo didn't want to go home on purpose, so he simply sent a young man to find Dong Mo and pass a message, "Just tell him not to come home, so that we won't look angry at each other!"
The boy looked at Xie Chun, Xie Chun was someone from here, he was making shoe uppers with a smile on his side, calmly helping out, "Just pass on the message, what are you afraid of."
When Mengyu heard it, he felt anxious.But if you want to take back the water that was spilled when you say it, it will be unsightly, so he slammed the boy with a cold look, "Go quickly, just follow my words, and you are not allowed to change a single word."
Originally, Dong Mo was going home. He had just sorted out the taxes of another province, and was about to leave. When he came out of the government office, he bumped into a young man who was chatting with the young man next to him in front of the carriage. , you push me, I push yours and watch him go up and down the stone pedal.
Dong Mo walked down the steps and raised his eyebrows at the two, "What's the matter?"
The boy came to the house and pulled the short brown, lowered his head and knocked: "The girl said that I don't have to go home in a hurry. Anyway, I will look angry when I go home."
Immediately, Dong Mo's face turned pale, Deng Yu sat down, was gloomy for a while, and couldn't go back in a fit of anger, and ordered the servant to set up a table in the restaurant, and invited Shao Wan to discuss the matter of the saltworks.
At the meeting, he asked Shao Yuan to keep an eye on the movement of the salt field, and Shao Yuan replied that Meng Yu came back from Tai'an Prefecture, and although the contract was signed, there was no movement from the other side of the salt field.
The flowers in the room moved, and the oblique light covered half of Dong Mo's face, shining goldenly on his cold white skin, like snow on a sunny day, a warm iceman.Shao Wan watched his face, and couldn't help but cautiously probed, "Did Meng Yu regret it when he thought about it?"
Dong Mo shook his head, "Probably because he disagreed with Luo Tian's opinion, so he delayed. Luo Tian was a little scared, but he had no idea, so he had to listen to Meng Yu's words in the end. Wait patiently. Since Meng Yu signed those contracts, he just wanted to I'm clear, and I won't go back on my word easily."
Shao Wan nodded in agreement, and suddenly fell silent. He hurriedly held the pot to sieve wine for Dong Mo. Dong Mo then raised his face, with a gentle look on his face, "Oh, Sir Shao, you are welcome. Please eat as you like."
"My lord, you're welcome." Shao Wan sat down and smiled, "It's rare for your lord to entertain guests outside. It's a great honor to be humble."
Dong Mo also smiled helplessly, "It's quiet outside, but it's noisy at home."
Shao Wan's heart is sharp, it seems that he is worried about housework, so he drinks with him by the side.
Dong Mo didn't talk much, the two men negotiated official business, and there was nothing to talk about, so it's not good to ask people to sit here, and the banquet will be over after half an hour.Walking to the street, tourists are like ants, slowly flowing under the boring sun.
He was thinking about going home, but he was afraid that he would still be angry if he bumped into Mengyu when he went back.Although he knew that Meng Yuan was not at him, but the two of them talked in a hurry, and they blushed for no reason, which was not interesting.So he joined the crowd and asked the boy to drive behind him, while he walked along the street under the scorching sun to relax.
Passing past a carriage, the boy driving the carriage lifted the curtain lightly, turned his head and said to the interior of the carriage: "That's not Master Dong, sir, do you want to go down and say hello?"
Meng Yu opened her eyes and looked out, and saw Dong Mo walking aimlessly beside those shops. Even though he walked like flowing water and stopped like pine trees, he could still see some faint worries from his calm eyes.
It seems that Meng Tiao has been stunned, so that he has a home and cannot return.Meng Yu is very experienced in this way, Meng Tiao's temperament is just like her mother's sister, it's hard to hear, it's like a steel knife.
Unexpectedly, she treated Dong Mo the same way.He felt a little happy, and still closed his eyes, "I won't go, just go home."
Meng Yu's room just came out of Luo Tian's residence, just as Dong Mo guessed, Luo Tian hesitated three times on the matter of paying out the salt, and Dong Mo checked the account.But he couldn't bear to let the money go without making any money, so he discussed it with Meng Yu several times.
He was hesitant, but Meng Yu only had one sentence: "Dong Mozhen has found out something, if he doesn't do it, he will die, if he does it, he will die. If he doesn't find out, it's a small matter for us to lose a fortune, but it's a big deal for us to lose our trust." , who will do business with us in the future?"
Luo Tian hesitated to think about his words, and finally made up his mind today, and invited him to discuss the issue of salt.However, as soon as Meng Yu came out of the Luo Mansion, her expression was not bright, but she was a little frustrated.
Giving out salt this time is tantamount to giving someone a handle. He knows very well that this is probably Dong Mo's game, and it may be a dead end.But he can only gamble once, and maybe he can still earn a way out of death.I bumped into Dong Mo on the street and brought up his uneasiness again. When I got home, I went to the study to take out the receipt and look at it again.
The strange handwriting on it will be the only bargaining chip in front of him, and also the backing after an accident.
Going back to her room for dinner from time to time, Yinlian was playing with her baby on the couch.The kang table was lifted to the ground, she shook a rattle in front to seduce, and the child giggled and crawled towards her.There was a silver bell on the child's ankle, and the clear and joyful ringing made Meng Yu think of the teasing like a spring water in the past.
Yinlian would never talk like her, she held a lip knife and slashed in all directions, and she was faintly happy when the people around her were cut to the point of bleeding and crying.Even Yinlian talked softly to the people below, as if she was afraid of offending someone.
Seeing Meng Yu coming in, she hurriedly asked the nurse to take the baby down and bring up the Kang table, so that everything could be restored to the original state.Then he ordered the dinner to be served, and came back to ask Meng Yu, "Have you had dinner at Master Luo's house?"
Meng Yu shook her head, leaned back on the high couch pillow, looked at the algae well and muttered, "Futuan will be able to climb."
"He can still stand up after touching him." Yinlian smiled and sat beside him, she found a fan somewhere, hung it on his face and fanned it lightly, "You have been busy all this time, so you went to Tai'an Prefecture again , he will be able to stand for half a month when you go, but he can't walk."
Most of the time, Meng Yu misses Meng Yuan's meanness in this tenderness.He calculated it himself, probably because he was used to suffering since he was a child, which made him feel more complacent in the face of harsh words.He always kept a place for Meng Tiao in his heart, as if he kept the memory of his down and out past.Therefore, after such a long time, he still hasn't straightened Yinlian.
He didn't mention it, and Yinlian didn't open her mouth to ask, she worked hard every day to care for her husband and teach her children, without complaining a word.Meng Yu looked up at her, as if realizing her conscience, she stroked her face tenderly, "Did you go out yesterday?"
"Well, I went to Hong's house for dinner."
"Which Hong family?"
The girl came in with three food boxes, and Yinlian threw down her fan and got up to help set the meal, "It's your Chief Secretary, Mr. Hong. Didn't he betroth Caiyi? Even the one you met yesterday, post a post too." I was invited, but I couldn’t push it, so I had to go.”
Meng Yu sat up and wanted to ask something, but Yin Lian just turned around the round case and passed.She bent her waist slightly, and at some point, a little flesh overflowed from her waist.It is said that women who become wives tend to gain weight. Although Yinlian is not a wife, she has no hair on her head, and she is no different from a wife.
But her fatness is definitely not for enjoyment. Meng Yu knew that because she pretended to have something in her heart and couldn't speak it out, her heart sank to the bottom, so she swelled and thickened her waist.Her thoughts are nothing but related to him, and he can guess, without dreams, without any obstacles, she starts to want his love.But because what he said in the past was too righteous, it is difficult to say it now.
In fact, this was just a woman's normal request. It was he who deprived her of the qualification to request, and I always felt a little guilty, so I couldn't ask about Meng Tiao's words.
The table was full of precious delicacies, and Meng Yu also sat down and took up the bowl to say his plan: "I'm afraid there are some things in the yamen recently. If there is any change at home, don't panic and take good care of the blessing group. The blessing group is still here. When you were a baby, you might not be implicated if something happened. I have not returned the lease on the house in Yunsheng Lane, if your home is raided, you can move there to live temporarily."
"What's the matter?" Yinlian's face changed suddenly, and her eyes were pale.
Meng Yu looked at her and forced a smile, "I'm afraid I will be imprisoned, but don't worry, you might be able to escape unscathed. I told you not to panic. Look, you've already been so frightened before the incident happened. .”
Yinlian was stunned for a long time, then suddenly she was trembling with tears, she couldn't hold the bowl, she hurriedly put it on the table, "What happened?"
It was difficult for Meng Yu to explain to her that she knew absolutely nothing about official affairs.He was a little bored, put down the bowl, and turned back to the couch, "Ask me, you don't understand what you said. You cry or cry, I knew I wouldn't even tell you these words. You just listen to me." Just do it."
As he spoke, he glanced at her impatiently.Yinlian hurriedly wiped away her tears, choked with sobs and wanted to ask those she didn't dare to ask, she lowered her face and remained silent.Meng Yu looked at her again, and her heart softened again. She went to hug her, pressed her head on her belly and felt it, "If you cry again, I'll go out to sleep tonight."
Yinlian wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face in his stomach, and cried even harder.A sea of tears soaked his clothes, just like when she was lying on his lap, she was equally helpless, and also made him think of dreams.
The dusk outside the slanted door is slowly sinking, the red bean fruits borne by the red cedar trees are particularly bright and abrupt in the golden color, and all the dark green outside the cave door is falling into the darkness, and those red bean fruits are a little weird and eye-catching.
Meng Yu leaned on the window and stared at them, feeling desolate in his heart.Dong Mo still didn't come back, and she really didn't come back according to her words, which really made her nose sore.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the dim light of the cave door flickered, and Dong Mo's dark green shadow, like a layer of color faded from a green tree, slowly rushed towards the cave gate, getting lighter as it got closer.
She hurriedly retracted her neck into the window, wiped it left and right, and wiped away the two tears, and she was coiled on the couch holding the veil embroidered with her like nothing happened.
Dong Mo walked into the bedroom, seeing her with a cold and indifferent face, without raising her eyes, and the words she had just written in her stomach were lost, and she couldn't think of what to say to her.After searching around, I went to light a lamp and walked to the bed, "Why don't you light the lamp? Wouldn't it hurt your eyes to do this work?"
"What does it have to do with you if my eyesight is broken?" Meng Yu picked up his eyes, and had to roll his eyelids again in the gap before he would fall down, "Even if I am blind, it has nothing to do with you."
Dong Mo stood in front of her in embarrassment, pursed his lips, and bent down to catch her eyes, "Still angry? So angry?"
Meng Tiao turned around slightly, ignoring him.Dong Mo had no choice but to sit on the couch at the other end and didn't speak.At the end of the day, the girl came in to hold the lamps, lit five or six lamps, then turned around and asked Dong Mo, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"No."
The girl got up in a hurry, and hurried to go outside to order the food to be served, and when she opened the curtain, she heard Dong Mo say, "Don't be too busy, I won't eat."
The girl hesitated a few times, so she had to let the curtain go out.After a while behind, Xie Chun came in again holding her little girl behind the curtain and asked: "Why don't you eat if you haven't eaten? When is your lunch?"
"It's about time."
"Then you should be hungry at this meeting. Let's order the meal."
Dong Mo waved his sleeves, and shook the little girl's hand in her arms.The girl grabbed one of his fingers and giggled.Meng Tiao also looked at the little girl, took advantage of the opportunity to glance at him, and held his breath viciously without saying a word.
Xie Chunhou glanced at her, knowing that she felt sorry for Dong Mo for not eating, and she was too angry to open her mouth, so she opened her mouth to persuade her, "Eat when you are hungry, what if you are sick because of hunger?"
Dong Mosan said with a faint smile: "It's better not to eat. For me to eat well and sleep well, some people feel very unhappy. If I don't eat or sleep, maybe her heart will be smoother." .”
Xie Chun took a look at Meng Yuan, saw her chest panting and shoulders bent, gnashing her teeth, she smiled and carried the little girl out.
As soon as the curtain fell, Meng Yu threw down the curtain, and the candle flicked with the wind in his sleeve, "What do you mean? Is it because I want you to stop eating and sleeping?"
Dong Mo smiled indifferently, "If you don't eat, you won't starve to death. You made me so hungry in the morning that I couldn't eat. Now I will pay you for the hungry meal and let you go."
Meng Tiao was so angry that his heart and lungs hurt, he gritted his teeth and hated him, and came up with a breath, and fell down on the kang table, sobbing and crying.
The author says:
The second sister hasn't arrived yet, let the two quarrel first.
