marry a weak waist

The smoke is clear and the entanglements are endless.The smoke in the sun took shape and swam piece by piece.Mengyu raised her hand to grab it, disturbing the smoke and dust, and was feeling a little lost when a big hand climbed up her arm and wrapped it around her hand.

In an instant, she fell into the warm and solid surroundings again. Looking back at the pillow, Dong Mo also woke up, and smiled at her, "I have something to do in the afternoon. I have to go out. You can eat dinner by yourself."

He got up and dressed, his voice was full of vague laziness, "I don't always take a nap, this time I sleep with you, my bones seem to have fallen apart from sleep, but I'm a little sluggish."

Mengyu sat up and pouted and complained, "Who wants you to sleep with me?" But there was something sweet in the complaint, and her voice was slurred, like a cat acting like a spoiled child.

Putting on his robe, Dong Mo came back and landed on the edge of the bed, "Is it a mistake to accompany you? I was reading on the bed, and I heard you snoring, which made me feel sleepy."

"Who is snoring?!" Meng Yu opened his eyes wide for a moment, and refused to admit it, "Don't wrong me, I fell asleep very honestly, and never made any movement!"

"You don't know?" Dong Mo glanced at her in disbelief, closed his eyes to imitate her, very lightly, and occasionally smacked his lips twice, "It's exactly the same as the shadow, you must have been born by a cat in your previous life."

Meng Yuan was a little ashamed, never knowing that she could snore.He also suspected that he deliberately arranged her to embarrass her.She pinched his back, "It must have been the little shadow, you sounded like me."

Dong Mo embraced her and kissed her, "Okay, it's it, I heard it wrong. I'm leaving, don't wait for me for dinner, you eat yours."

Meng Tiao got out of bed and sent him two steps, went to the door and took a look at the west-slanting sun.She supported the door frame and watched his back gradually embedded in the green shade behind the cave door. He was wearing a dark green robe, like a river flowing into the sea, completely submerged in those green colors, and could not be found.

As soon as she woke up, the maids in the room got busy, some followed her to the dressing table to re-do the cloud bun, and some brought her tea and water.Xie Chun also walked in with the young girl in her arms, and smiled at the mirror, "Miss, look who's here."

Letting her body out, it was Mei Qing.Meng Tiao just pretended to be Dai, and got up to look at her, "You came alone? Where's your mother?"

Mei Qing flapped her fan and casually looked sideways at the room, "Mother didn't come, but she's not alone." She wanted to see if there were any good things added to the room.

Meng Yu came to give her a hand, "Then why did you come here?"

Mei Qing turned around and rolled her eyes, "I'll come and see you, okay?"

When they went to the outer room, they saw Yinlian standing outside the screen, wearing a peach-pink double-breasted gown, and a white-bottomed butterfly wearing a floral embroidered skirt.It's only been a few months, and she's gotten a little fatter, her formerly slender waist now overflows a little to the sides, and the long gown can be seen when it's blown by the wind.

The face also seemed to be rounded, as if the previous frailty had been soaked away in the stable world, and the frail delicacy gradually faded, but a little calm charm was added.If it weren't for the urgency and panic on her face, Mengyu would have thought that she was living a happy life like a fairy.

Meng Tiao secretly cast a sideways glance at Mei Qing and invited Yin Lian to sit on the couch in front of others, "It's been a while since I've seen you, is it always okay?"

Yinlian was already a little afraid of her, but now standing on her territory, she is even more cautious.But for the sake of Meng Yu, I had to bite the bullet and move to sit on the couch, "Thank you girl for taking care of me, it's always been good. The Futuanhui stood up and crawled, and said that I would hug the girl to say hello, and I was afraid that the children would make noise. It made the girl's ears uncomfortable. How is the girl?"

"Thanks to you." Meng Tiao guessed that she must have something to say about her sudden visit, and only waited for the tea, fruit and snacks to arrive, she gave Xiang Xie Chun a wink, and sent someone out.

Even Mei Qing went out and sat on the porch to talk to Xie Chun.

There were only two people left in the room, Meng Tiao sipped tea and said bluntly: "Why did you come to find me? Just say, don't be restrained, I will help if I can, and there is nothing I can do if I can't. It's not good. I can’t even tell you to speak, so it’s a waste of time.”

Yinlian hesitated for a while, her eyelids drooped, and she bit her lips embarrassingly, "I'm here for Brother Yu's business. A while ago, Brother Yu suddenly told me that there might be some changes in the officialdom, tell me I said, if something happens, I will take the child back to live in Yunsheng Lane. Although I don't know anything about officialdom, who can guess that there is a big problem when he says this? You know his temperament, I didn't dare to ask him too much, so I had to ask the girl."

"Ask me?" Meng Yu smiled lightly, and in the clear waves cast in from the window, she felt vaguely far away, "How can I know about their official affairs? You are really asking the wrong person."

"I heard from Brother Yu that Mr. Dong is in charge of this matter..." Yinlian lowered her face, made up her mind, and raised it again, "Girl, I think since Mr. Dong is in charge of Brother Yu's matter, Whether it is good or bad, Master Dong must have the final say. The girl always agrees with Master Dong, please help me to say a word, beg for mercy."

Meng Tiao Qiao Zuo was startled, "How can I take care of these things? Since I came here, I never ask about those things on the scene. I don't talk about officials and nobles. Zhang Ping doesn't like me asking these things either." Besides, think about it for me. I have been husband and wife with Meng Yu for several years, and I asked Zhang Ping for his affairs. What does Zhang Ping think? Don't say no, it made him angry. Master Meng, it's not good."

Yin Lian knew that she was using excuses, since she came here, she opened her mouth again, she decided to make up her mind, and begged again and again, "Girl, I hesitated for a long time before I dared to say this to you. The girl doesn't look at other things, but for the sake of Futuan, let's help to say something!"

It was really difficult for Meng Tiao to speak, so she turned her face hard and straightened her waist, "Yin Lian, you helped me once before, logically speaking, I should pay you back. But in this matter, I really can't do anything. "

Yin Lian instantly burst into tears, grabbed her skirt and knelt down in front of Meng Tiao, "Young lady will help out, just because of the old relationship with Brother Yu, and it doesn't take much trouble for the young lady, just a word. The young lady has said, it will be successful." No, in the next life I will be like a bull and a horse to repay the girl!"

During the time they lived together in Meng's house, Yinlian never asked Meng Yuan for anything.Meng Yu looked down at her, not knowing where she got these tears, this infatuation.It can be seen that women and women are not necessarily sympathetic.

Knowing that she loves to cry, crying until she has no more tears, it will be all right.Meng Tiao didn't try to persuade her, and let her cry, she glanced away her quiet eyes, and said coldly: "You are difficult for others, I am a woman, how can I control the affairs of the officialdom? So, I might as well just go to be an official, what are you still doing sitting here?"

It should be something to do, but at this time Kouhen and Qiusheng came over.As for Qiusheng, he heard that Dong Mo was taking a nap at home and pretended not to go out, so he came to talk to him.

Kou Hen is because the festival is approaching, and for their husband and wife to be here, there might be a big fuss in the Qingyu Garden, which will cost people and money, so she came to say hello first and told Meng Yuan not to bother.

The two walked side by side into the courtyard, and heard someone crying in the room, shouting, "I beg you to have mercy, miss, I know what you used to do, if you didn't help plan the entertainment, Brother Yu may not be able to get to where he is today. As long as you are willing to give a little help in dealing with these adults in the officialdom, Brother Yu may be able to save his life."

At first, Kou Hen thought it was Meng Tiao who was beating and scolding the girl, but now he listened carefully, it was a bit unusual, then raised his eyebrows, and the girls were all sitting on the porch again, who was crying inside?Then he called Xiechun to him to ask.

Xie Chun handed the young girl to Mei Qing to hold her, went to the courtyard and approached Kou Hen with a smile, "It's the girl's guest."

Kou Hen heard the woman crying and saying "a husband and wife" again, so he asked, "What guest?"

After hesitating for a while, Xie Chun thought about the second young lady's ability again. If she really wanted to inquire about it, she could find out everything, so she followed suit and said: "Young lady is the aunt of her ex-husband's family."

"Auntie?" Kouhen glanced at the closed window, "I heard that Miss Meng's former husband's family name is Meng, and he seems to be in politics in the Chief Secretary of Shandong?"

Kou Hen remembered that when he was at home, he had heard from the old man that Dong Mo had read a copy of it in the imperial court for this man surnamed Meng because he forcibly seized Meng Yuan.Because everyone knew at the time that the emperor called Dong Mo back to the capital because of the trivial matter of this daughter's affair, so everyone only focused on the movements in the court and did not pay attention to the truth of this affair.

Thinking about it now, there seems to be something inside.Kou Hen nodded lightly, didn't ask any more questions, and called Qiu Sheng to go back.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Sheng was lost in thought under the verandah, and he didn't hear him after calling twice.Kou Hen walked to the side, followed his gaze, and saw an unfamiliar woman holding Xie Chun's daughter on King Wu's bed and teasing her.

Kou Hen cast a sidelong glance at Qiu Sheng, and lightly tugged on his sleeve, "Sanmo has gone out, Miss Meng also has guests, let's come back later."

Qiu Sheng came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and went out with her.When he came under a cluster of arrow bamboo, he couldn't stop looking back.The woman was still sitting there, wearing a royal blue gown with a stand-up collar and double-breasted breasts, a green lower skirt, and two thin hairpins stuck in her bun in the dark clouds, each with three and a half large red hairpins Agate beads.

The red agate bead was illuminated by the sun, and it was extraordinarily clear. Two red lights were projected on the white wall and swept across it gently.When Qiu Sheng saw it, he felt a sense of indistinctness that was floating slowly.Coincidentally, the woman turned her eyes and met his eyes, she smiled slightly, and the smoke traces faded away.

Going back later, the housekeeper brought by Kou Hen sent out to inquire about Dong Mo's enlistment in Jinan.When asked about Jia Canzheng, Jia Canzheng was naturally ambiguous and difficult to elaborate. Kouhen played tricks and deliberately made friends with his wife and asked her about it.

Unfortunately, because of Jia's participation in politics, Mrs. Jia kept a lot of hidden stories in her heart, and she couldn't tell others, so she kept them in her heart for two or three years.Now someone finally inquired, and it was Dong Mo's sister again. The gossip was like splashing water, and it couldn't be stopped:

"Master Dong was a dumb man who suffered from eating Coptis chinensis back then, so I can't tell you. It's a good thing for you to ask. Otherwise, he would be regarded as a daughter-in-law who usurped someone else's family. I'm afraid the elders in your family will blame him. Where is it? At that time, my master asked them in secret. As for the two families, let me tell you when I come back, there are clearly a lot of discrepancies here. I secretly guessed that this girl Meng had been with Mr. Dong for some days before the incident happened. Think about it, a woman from a good family can privately With a man? Whether this is rape or not, only she knows best in her heart. Anyway, as long as a woman bites a bite, a man will have a hundred mouths and he can't tell. Besides, I can hear some rumors that she When I was with Mr. Meng, my mother and my younger sister lived in that mansion, and helping entertain guests at banquets and entertainments was a great thing! Think about it, my mother and younger sister are both eloquent, so where else can my elder sister go?"

Kou Hen stared coldly and murmured, "This family is really capable..."

"It's amazing!" Mrs. Jia rolled her eyes in an inscrutable manner, "You haven't seen her old lady, she is about forty years old, and she looks like a goblin. If she is from Wuxi, which one is in Wuxi?" No one really knows."

Looking at the flowers in the fog is even more speculative. Most of the legends about women are related to men.Kou Hen slowly thought of what Aunt Meng's family had said, that Meng Tiao had always been debauched and dissolute.There are quite a few women like this in the officialdom. They are beautiful, and if they are someone's concubine, the men will take her as a favor.It's just that I didn't expect there to be a wife.

This is even more embarrassing and degrading. Prostitution is not prostitution, good is not good, and even being a servant girl by your side is a disgrace to the family.Kou Hen's eyes were full of contempt and disgust, thinking that before returning to Beijing, he must send Meng Yao away.

Meng Tiao still didn't know anything about it, and was immersed in Yin Lian's begging, and couldn't help feeling to Dong Mo at night, "You didn't see her crying like that, as if Meng Yu was going to be beheaded tomorrow. Hey, speaking of it, when will you interrogate him? From the looks of it, he already guessed that he won't be able to run away, otherwise he wouldn't have told Yinlian about those plans."

It was dusk at this moment, and Dong Mo had just returned home for dinner.He has always been busy with this matter.The salt field has already started to take action. It takes about two days to collect the thousand rock salt and ship it out. That is to say, Meng Yu can be captured in two days.

He was half relieved in his heart, and he was in the mood to take Meng Tiao for a walk in the garden, "In just a few days, you can get him with a little salt. I am the governor, and the evidence is solid. You can get him first, and then report to the court." Shangshu."

Thinking of Yinlian crying, Mengyu felt a little sad, "Will the imperial court kill him?"

As far as what Meng Yu committed, according to the law, he should be executed.But Dong Mo was a little confused, shook his head and said he didn't know, and asked with a smile: "Why, are you a little sad for him?"

There is a four-cornered pavilion on the rockery, and Dong Mo led her to climb it dreamily.As soon as he arrived in the pavilion, Meng Tiao threw away his hand and hit him, "Here it is again. You must see that I have some inseparable old relationship with him to make you happy, don't you? Cry twice for him."

She swept the fallen leaves next to King Wu, and was about to sit down, when Dong Mo pulled her back, pinched her waist and pressed him against his body, "You don't have many tears in the first place, you should leave them to me."

Because the second half was so tight, Mengtiao always felt that he was holding something against her, threatening her.Her face was red and swollen, she pursed her lips and moved twice, silently, as if she was scolding, then rolled her eyelids and pushed him away, and sat down as before.

If you stand tall, you can see far away. The twilight is like gold, and you can see most of the garden. The black and gray tiles float in the golden wave, and the scattered phoenix trees are half yellow, as if dyed yellow by the setting sun. .

This period of time has been extremely long, and Dong Mo is waiting for the results of the saltworks.Because of Kou Hen's stay at home, Meng Tiao hoped that she would leave earlier, so time passed slowly.

With her arms resting on the railing and her face tilted on her head, she discussed with Dong Mo, "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet will be held in that hall, which is next to your study. What do you say?"

Dong Mo naturally followed her.She continued: "When will your second sister return to Beijing after the Mid-Autumn Festival? Let me see when I will send someone out to buy some Jinan specialties for her to bring back."

"Don't bother. I'm afraid she thinks it's troublesome to bring too many things."

"It's her business to bring it or not. It's not good for me not to do it here. It's a loss of etiquette." Meng Tiao curled her lips and complained, "Your second sister looks indifferent and doesn't care about anything, but in fact There are people in her heart, she doesn't talk about it, and she doesn't blame others easily, but she has a steelyard in her heart for everything."

Dong Mo looked at her with a slanted smile and raised his hand to pinch her face, "You are better at seeing her than I am. I didn't talk to her much before, and I thought she was just dignified and polite, but I didn't expect her to be cold to the bone. in the seam."

Dreaming far away, I'm afraid his whole family is like this.She suddenly felt sorry for him.He clearly has a hot and persistent heart, which has been left to cool in an ice cave for more than ten or twenty years.However, it has not been completely cooled, and it is still silently waiting for a fire. As long as it is warm, it can be rekindled.

She set it on fire, she was a little proud, straightened up, and raised her chin at him.Dong Mo made her laugh, there was a pillar behind her, so he pressed her on the pillar and kissed her,

The dinner was a bit hot, and Meng Tiao wanted to cool off, so he ordered another bowl of Bingsu Shan to eat.Dong Mo was afraid that she would not be able to digest after eating too much, so he shared half a bowl for her.Both have the taste of milk and the sweetness of melon in each other's mouths, and they both feel that the tip of the other's tongue is cool, and they are greedy for coolness, relying on the fact that there is no one around, their lips are close to each other, and they are inseparable.

I don't want Kouhen to come to the garden to digest after dinner.When you walk down the rockery, you can see it when you look up.Embarrassed by herself, she found a tree to cover herself, and couldn't help poking her eyes out to look.They were still hugging each other, looking at each other closely and smiling, Meng Yu's face was flushed, and Dong Mo's face was also a little drunk, he bent his face, and occasionally rubbed the tip of her nose with his nose.

That was Dong Mo, whom Kou Hen had never seen before. She felt a little sore in her heart, and once brewed, it gradually turned into some pungent discomfort.

Maybe all couples in the world should love each other like this.But she also believes that a husband and wife should also maintain self-denial and etiquette, preferably like her and Qiu Sheng.

On the way back to the room, Kouhen thought of her mother-in-law.She has a picky mother-in-law, even if her speech and behavior are impeccable, her mother-in-law can still find something wrong in two or three days to teach her.Even when she occasionally helped Qiu Sheng say a few nice words, she said that she only cared about pleasing her husband and disregarded the overall situation.

What the mother-in-law said was right, she had to be solemn and solemn in front of her husband, thinking that she should do the same in front of her son and daughter-in-law in the future.It's a pity that Kouhen's son is only six years old, it's still too early to ask for a wife.She had no choice but to put her "mother-in-law" airs in front of Dong Mo and Meng Yuan.

The next day, she wanted to call Dong Mo to speak, and told Dong Mo's office to go home early.Dong Mo was supposed to be fine when he went out in the morning, but suddenly something happened in the middle of the day, and he was stumbling over the saltworks. This stumbling made him not return for two days in a row.

According to Shao Yun's report, Meng Yu ordered the salt to be transported out of the city that morning. Dong Mo heard that at noon, he hurriedly recruited people from the yamen to go out of the city to chase the salt, and in the next noon they chased it back.

This box took the salt, and without delay for a moment, at dusk, he ordered the standard staff to take the salt separately.Among them, 100 people went to Tai'an Prefecture at night to get Pang Yunfan and several merchants; another 200 people went to the homes of several adults in the Salt Transportation Department to get several officials involved in the case headed by Luo Tian.Dong Mo personally brought two hundred officials to surround the Meng family's mansion.

When he entered the door, he heard that Meng Yu was having dinner, so Dong Mo waited in the living room with two senior officials for the butler to invite Meng Yu.Not long after Meng Yu came over, he saw four or five adults sitting around in the hall, Dong Mo was at the head drinking tea standing tall, with a dignified look on his face, but he was relieved that some important matters had been resolved.

Meng Yu didn't panic either, she walked in the door, smiled and bowed her hands to both sides, "I wonder if the adults have had dinner yet? If you don't mind, why not move into the hall together, and I'll tell the kitchen to prepare the table."

An adult surnamed Quan stood up and returned the salute with a stern face, "I dare not accept Mr. Meng's invitation. We are not here for a banquet today. We have a case to ask Mr. Meng to go to the yamen for questioning."

Meng Yu looked back with a smile, took a look at the guards who were pasting the seals outside the door, turned back and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll just go back with the adults, why bother with such a big battle."

As he said that, he called the old housekeeper to come to him, and told him without hesitation, "Housekeeper, take good care of my aunt and young master, and tell them not to panic. I will tell them naturally if there is anything."

Since Meng Yu's family property has not yet been submitted to the court for conviction, Meng Yu's family property can only be registered and cannot be confiscated for the time being.

Dong Mo greeted him on the chair, clipped his arms, glanced at Meng Yu, and smiled, "Master Meng doesn't seem to be surprised by this situation at all. If you want to change someone else, I'm afraid you will be scared out of your wits. Master Meng, however, treats it like nothing, and takes it calmly."

"Hey, I've been an official for many years, and I'm used to seeing it. What's the trouble? My lords, please take a step first." Meng Yuxuan waved an arm and invited a few people out first.

His attitude made Dong Mo's vague doubts come to mind, and he was a little embarrassed at first.

At night, Dong Mo went to the cell where Meng Yu was detained, ordered the four pots to be brightly lit, and immediately raised his hand, dispatched a few guards, and talked to Meng Yu alone in the cell.Meng Yu remained calm and unafraid, and blew on a wooden stool in the room, and brought it in front of Dong Mo, "Master Dong, please sit down."

Dong Mo and his party sat down with their robes lifted, and they smiled, "Master Meng is really mature and prudent, and I don't feel flustered after this meeting."

Meng Yu sat on another stool by herself, pursed her lips, and gave him a sideways look with meaning, "I expected today, so what is there to panic about?"

"Oh? Since we've already expected it, why did we have to produce that batch of salt? I really don't understand it."

Meng Yu smiled and remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, "It's not that Mr. Dong doesn't understand, it's because he doesn't want to believe it. It's like when Mr. Dong guessed what kind of purpose Meng'er had for approaching you, you were still willing to dig into the net." Same. Mr. Dong's advantage is that he is good at employing people's talents, and my Meng Yu's advantage is that I am good at saving people's hearts."

Dong Mo wriggled his lower lips and smiled casually, "I don't even understand what I said."

He was willing to pretend to be confused, and Meng Yu didn't bother to tear things apart, so he just smiled in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if you understand or not. Believe it or not, even if you thoroughly judged the deficit of the salt tax and convicted me, I would still You can escape punishment. After all, you, Mr. Dong, only investigate the case. As for the punishment, you have no right to make a decision. That is a matter for the emperor and the cabinet."

The bright candles on all sides gradually dimmed in Dong Mo's eyes, and his face also showed two signs of decay.He propped himself up on his knees, and the floor tiles were covered with dust, leaving some heavy and sluggish footprints.

That night, Dong Mo took a group of people into custody in the Procuratorate, and was not in a hurry to arraign them. He first wrote down the context of the matter and the physical evidence overnight, and urgently submitted it to the imperial court in eight hundred miles.Then he put down his pen and walked out of the inner hall. In the clear and bright night, he suddenly missed Meng Tiao very much.

He didn't know why, but he felt that there were so many people in this world, but he was isolated from them, and each other opened their mouths like dumb, guessing what the other said, hoping to hear clearly.But it really made a sound, and it was a hoarse and exhausted voice, which was very unpleasant.

The only nice voice he heard was from Meng Tiao's throat.Although it was mostly lies at that time, he still believed in her heart, it must be true, but it was shrouded in mist.
