marry a weak waist
Chapter 78
At noon, Mengyuan came out from Hong's house after dinner, and Caiyi held her stomach and insisted on giving it to her. Except for Mengyuan, she still didn't listen to anyone.Meng Tiao thought about saying goodbye from now on, and would never meet again for the rest of his life, so he didn't persuade her, and let her hold her hand, and the two walked slowly towards the door.
On the way, Caiyi suddenly had tears on her cheeks, and she couldn't stop crying.Meng Tiao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, smiled, "Well, why are you crying? People say that a woman with a body will cry and laugh at one time, and her face changes very quickly. It really looks good."
Caiyi sniffled her nose a few times, lowered her face for a while, and raised her face tearfully, "Girl, sooner or later you will have someone to belong to. You are a good person, and good people will be rewarded."
This made Meng Yuan feel very sad. She has always judged people very accurately, but she didn't know how to judge herself.In terms of being bad, it would not be a big villain or a big evil, but if you say that you are a good person, you can't talk about it anyway. You just fell into the world, an ordinary person covered in stains, and you can't tell whether you are worthy of a good result.
She laughed, "Who says I'm a bad person?" Gradually, she also choked up a little, and smiled lonely, "I see, thank you, it's not a loss for me to support you. I will not be in Jinan anymore. , you have been bullied, but no one will vent your anger for you. Be careful, you are going to be a mother, don't be so stupid like that. "
Caiyi nodded brokenly, Mengtiaofu pulled her towards the door.The sun was shining vigorously, and standing in the thick shade under the door cover, my body was still cold.Meng Yu urged her to go in several times, but Cai Yi refused to leave, "I'm watching the girl go."
Meng Tiao had no choice but to grab the skirt and get off, walked to the sedan chair, looked back, the long street was facing Zhumen, and the sun was shining on the colorful clothes.It seemed to be a part of her past. The self who was a little naive and ignorant stood in the distant memory and waved to her.
She had no choice but to harden her heart and move forward, throwing away those innocence, in order to survive tenaciously in this world.
By the way, I walked to Yunsheng Lane, and when I entered the courtyard, I saw the old housekeeper in the former Meng Mansion directing the servants to carry things. The scene was chaotic, as if he was about to go somewhere.
Seeing Meng Yuan, the old housekeeper still addressed him as "Madam" and turned his head to report to the room.At the end, she saw Yinlian holding the child coming down the steps from the door, smiling and saluting first, then holding the child's hand and bowing to Mengyu, "Call me madam, call me madame, say madam is happy."
Mengyu held his hand and smiled, "If you want to change from the past, you still have to call me 'mother'. Can you speak?"
Yinlian led her into the room, "I don't know how to do it, I can only babble, and I occasionally utter two words, but they seem to be similar. Why do you want to come to me, girl? I don't know what to do here." Easy to find, no detours, right?"
"I've been here before." Meng Yu turned and landed on the couch, and raised her eyebrows at her prettyly, "You don't know, you were robbed by bandits that year, and Meng Yu led troops to rescue you. Just came to your place once."
Yin Lian was carrying the baby to the nurse, turned around, feeling a little embarrassed.When I was nervous, the old address popped up, "It turns out that my wife knows..."
"I know." Meng Yao nodded her chin, with a look of relief, "You sit. This is your home, you stand and I sit, what do you look like?"
Yinlian sat down in embarrassment, her buttocks touched half of the couch, her hands rested on her lap, the little daughter-in-law behaved like a mother-in-law, even a little bit frightened.Meng Tiao couldn't help laughing, "Why are you so afraid of me? Since you and I met, I don't seem to have said anything serious to you."
A slanting light came in from the window, ironing on the face of the anemone, the outline became softer, but it seemed to have lost weight again.In an instant, as if going back to the past, Meng Yu was sitting opposite her, laughing and talking about everything about Meng Yuan.
Her fear of Meng Yu came from Meng Yu's description at the beginning, and she felt her sharp edge before she recognized Meng Yu.Later, he felt guilty and guilty, and couldn't hold his head up in front of Meng Yuan.
She lowered her chin, and said softly like a mosquito, "It seems that I owe my wife something, I feel a little ashamed."
Mengyu understood that she was referring to Meng Yu, so it was unclear.It doesn't matter who owes whom, it's a foregone conclusion anyway.She turned her head far away, and said with satisfaction, "I heard from the shopkeeper Liang of the pawn shop that you are going to Beijing? I am going to Hebei too, so I can say goodbye to you."
Yinlian glanced at the window, "Yes, I'm packing something, and I'll be leaving at the end of the month."
"It's earlier than me. I didn't leave until October. Does Meng Yu know that you're going with me? In my opinion, you're taking a child with you. The mountains are high and the water is far away. How convenient is it? Why don't you just wait for the news in Jinan? How about the court?" Disposal, there will always be a letter."
"Brother Yu also meant the same thing." Yinlian smiled, glanced at her, and lowered her eyes again, "He said he couldn't die, so he didn't know where to put him, and told me to wait for him in Jinan, and he would definitely come to pick me up .”
Meng Tiao's heart dropped for no reason, and then he smiled and said: "Look, I said, one day, he will love you with all his heart."
"I think about it, but I still don't feel at ease. Telling me to wait here is like a year. It's better to follow. On the way, I will follow the housekeeper and send off people, and I won't be tired. When I arrive in Beijing, I will rent a house first. At least I will live in the house." One place." Yinlian's face was a little shy, and she was warmed by the golden light.
"That's right, if you want to go, no one can stop you." Meng Yu said.
After a moment of silence, Yinlian thought of something, raised her head and said, "Ma'am, I saw Miss Mei on Fushun Street two days ago. She was sitting in a carriage and stopped at the entrance of Shengman Inn. There was a servant who came to meet her, but I didn't know whose family it was. I didn't dare to say hello."
Mengtiao heard some clues from her low tone, she is a person who knows the basics, what Mengtiao can think of, maybe she has thought of it too, but she is too embarrassed to explain it too clearly.
Just who would that man be?Meng Tiao raised her eyebrows and thought, only Qiu Sheng was the only one who thought about it, maybe the two of them had a private meeting in the inn.Meng Tiao stood up and was about to go to Liu's house.
Afraid that Yinlian would notice that she was in a hurry, she hurriedly smiled softly, "I'm leaving, and I still have some property matters to explain to others."
Yin Lian stood up and wanted to send her off, but Meng Tiao pressed her hand, "Don't give it away, see you by fate."
Having said that, who knows if there is any fate.Meng Yu went out, and heard the swaying of the garden trees outside the courtyard wall, rattling, deafening, as if he came here for nothing that year, and Meng Yu was still laughing happily inside.
She and Meng Yu didn't know who would get out of the predicament first, anyway, as she expected, Meng Yu fell in love with Yinlian after all.It was also because she had expected it earlier, so she backed away early.Thinking about it now, I always feel that I was squeezed out.
When I arrived at Liu's house, I didn't expect Dong Mo to be here.Liu Chaoru and Dong Mo greeted each other under the verandah.Liu Chaoru cupped his hands and joked, "Sister and Zhang Ping made an appointment to meet at my house?"
Dong Mo walked down the steps and took Mengtang's hand, "Didn't you go to see Caiyi?"
"I've been there. I had lunch at Hong's house. I went out, so I just came to see my mother and Mei Qing." Meng Yu went to the bottom of the veranda, stretched her neck to look into the room, "Is Mei Qing here?"
Liu Chaoru smiled and said, "I went out and said I was going to Ma Tongpan's house to talk to my wife, and my mother-in-law was in the room."
Meng Yu didn't go in anymore, "You guys talk, I'll go sit in my mother's room."
Going around the corridor and entering the east chamber, the old lady seemed to be putting things away, when she heard someone coming in, she hurriedly closed the lid of the cage, seeing that it was a dream, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mum, how many possessions are there, are you still afraid of being seen?" Meng Tiao teased and closed the door, and went to the couch.
The old lady flicked her clothes to greet her, "You can't guess how much I have? I'm not afraid that you will see it, but I'm afraid that the servants below will see it. These days, if you don't see money, you are a kind person. If you see Qian, you will not be allowed to live. It’s better to be on the defensive.”
Mengyu smiled contemptuously, and when she sat down, he asked Mei Qing: "Where did Mei Qing go? I just came out of Yinlian's house, and I heard her say that she met her in front of the Shengman Inn two days ago. Mei Qing. What is she going to do in the inn? Whom is she looking for?"
The old lady's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to mutter casually, "How would I know? It's not like you don't know her temperament, and she might not tell me anything. Maybe she has some money and is planning to do something. Buying and selling, where can I meet someone who is running a business?"
How could Meng Tiao believe it? Thinking that her two thousand silver was really a waste of money, her tone turned cold, "Mother, don't be fooled by me. Mei Qing went to see Kuang Qiusheng at the Shengman Inn, right? It's not good for the two of you to be in the garden. We met at the inn, and we simply made an appointment at the inn. Really, there are people coming and going in that place, if an acquaintance sees it and spreads the word, how can Mei Qing behave? Even if I am caught in the middle, it is not easy to behave!"
"How many acquaintances does Kuang Qiusheng have in Jinan?"
It's so embarrassing, it was tricked by Meng Tiao, and he threw off his veil, "You still say you don't know! Last time you coaxed me not to hit his idea, you coaxed me into a circle!"
The voice rose sharply, and Dong Mo and Liu Chao could vaguely hear it in this room. They glanced at the window, but there was silence on the other side for a while.
Dong Mo also came to say goodbye to Liu Chaoru for the matter of going to Hebei, and when he was talking about Meng Yu being escorted to Beijing, Liu Chaoru followed up the words just now and persuaded him, "I think everything should be done according to the destiny, you and I should be responsible for this case. We have done everything we have done, and we cannot be the masters of the rest. If Meng Yu can really escape, it is his good fortune, and we can do everything we can."
"Meng Yu's life and death have nothing to do with me, I just thought, my grandfather..." Dong Mo scratched the tea bowl, his face crooked.
There was a moment of silence, and in the silence were two discouraged hearts.Liu Chaoru sighed again, "Have you thought about how to face the old man when you return to Beijing?" As he spoke, he smiled, "I think you'd better pretend you don't know. Yu Gong, he is a member of the cabinet. The meaning of the cabinet may also be the meaning of the emperor. Although you are the deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, compared with the cabinet, you know which one is higher or lower. In private, he is your grandfather. Maybe you have to check Your grandfather? Even if he took Meng Yu's money, or for other purposes to save him, and later demolished your platform, can you still care about it? I didn't provoke you. If you really want to investigate, you are the one who died. Your family may not care about the family relationship."
Speaking of this episode, Dong Mo raised his head with a smile, and there were traces of vicissitudes on his brows, and there was a hint of Jinghu Baiyuezuizhongge in that smile, "You have always been free and easy, and you can see everything."
"There's nothing you can do if you can't see it. I'm no better than you. I have a bad family background. I suffered a lot in the early years."
Here also fell silent one after another, the silence one after another was like a silk thread, tightening people one by one.
In the East Chamber, the old lady didn't bother to hide her words, she rolled her eyelids and said, "What are you afraid of, even if the second lady finds out, I don't believe they dare to publicize it. The more they are like this, the more decent they must be." , it’s not just about obediently giving money. Mother not only took their money, but also gave you an excuse, isn’t it good?”
Meng Yu was so hateful that he pressed his hands on the kang table, and stood up slightly, "It's okay for you to get angry with me, I'll be fine if you don't be the first to get mad at me! How many times have I said, live a good life, and you are so short of money?"
"Is there too much money?" The old lady had already smoked a cigarette at this time, and a cloud of white smoke popped out, and she opened a cigarette curtain, vaguely covering her careless smiling face.
Mengyu hated her indifferent attitude, she gritted her teeth with hatred, "Your family is well planned, and it is enough for the rest of your life, why are you not satisfied!"
"I'm not satisfied? I don't need money for food and clothing. How do you tell me to plan? Tell me to tighten my belt to live, why? Why can people eat, drink, and live comfortably? I have to plan carefully!"
"You are a dog who can't change eating shit!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was another sudden silence, as if the rustling wind outside the window could be heard, sweeping away the old hatred.
The old lady's face froze for a while, she patted the table, stretched her waist and sneered, "Well, you compare your mother to a beast. Even though I am a beast, you crawled out of my stomach, and you are What?!"
As he said that, he raised his head and laughed, the laughter choked his throat a few times, it seemed intermittent, bumpy, and a little crazy.
She just smiled like that, startled Mengyu, her heart tightened irregularly following her knocking throat.
I don't know what the old lady thought of, she tilted her face up until she burst into tears, covered her angry eyes, and slapped the table several times, "Papapapa", every time it touched Mengyu's heart.
Her tearful laughter was tearing, "What are you? What are you? You, you are the son of a beast! You are the son of a beast! Don't you want to know who your father is? Don't you want to know Who is your father, huh?"
She rushed to the couch, squeezed Meng Tiao's shoulders, and pulled her up from the couch, "I tell you, I tell you now, your father is two beasts, two beasts, I don't know which one of them it is ! They raped me, you are here, I don't even know their names, you want to find your father, you go, you go!"
Meng Tiao reeled from being pushed by her, and his gaze flicked back to her face in disbelief.There was another silence after that, the old lady was laughing silently, laughing hoarsely, getting more and more crazy.She turned around with a smile, and with a wave of her hand, swept down the vase on the long case. With a "bang", the dust-buried past fell into pieces and spread out in front of everyone.
Dong Mo opened the door first and came in. Seeing the mess on the ground, Meng Tiao stood there dazedly, and he hurriedly took her out.
Later, Liu Chaoru came in, took the broom and put it on the ground, and came back after a while, and saw the old lady standing there with her back, the slanting sun shone on her shoulders, and her frail shoulders were shattered. flutter.She hugged her arms tightly, obviously trying to control her trembling, but her body was out of control, and even the agates on both sides were dangling.
Turning around after a while, the man was smiling, but there were tears on his cheeks, "Did you hear that? Really, why bother to make me angry and make people watch a joke for nothing."
These words were a bit of a complaint to Mengyuan, but they were relaxed, as if the mother and daughter had just argued for a few words, which was not worth mentioning. She had already forgiven her and the past that made her hoarse.
In fact, both Liu Chaoru and Dong Mo only heard the second half of their quarrel.It is not known why the quarrel broke out. Just knowing this matter is enough to surprise people.Liu Chaoru closed the door, and walked towards her with some pain, "Is what you said just now true?"
The old lady tilted her shoulders on the couch, and lighted up the unburned cigarette again, "Ah, it's true, it's been more than 20 years, if it wasn't for Meng'er, I wouldn't even remember it."
She seemed to be a different person from the one who was hoarse and laughing just now, and she had the same lazy attitude as before.Liu Chaoru felt a little pain in his heart, but because of her indifference, he seemed a little fussed about the pain.
He sat down opposite and remained silent for a long time.The old lady didn't hear anything for a long time, she looked up suspiciously, and saw him smiling opposite, with a bitter face.
She knocked the cigarette pot in front of him, gave him a look, and the tears covering her eyes dried up, "Come on, it's been a few years, whether you want to feel bad or hate it, it's too late .Go out and act like this here, I don’t have time to watch.”
If it weren't for being aroused by Meng Yuan, she might not have much hatred.Thinking back to the hysterical look I had just now, I also found it funny, as if a ghost possessed her body more than 20 years ago.
In fact, that bit of physical pain is nothing, what she will remember forever is the continuous aftershocks afterwards.They all said that she was not good, and the neighbors all commented that it was her who posed all day long to attract bees and butterflies, and only then did she attract thieves.As time passed, her parents thought the same way, and they looked at her with resentment gradually, without opening her mouth, she knew they were talking about "slut" and "slut".
Anyway, she is innocent no matter what, but fortunately, she later found out that most people in this world are not innocent.Who is not selfish, wants to be a saint on the surface, but is full of male thieves and female prostitutes in his stomach.It's just that they hide it well.This somewhat made her feel better.
Liu Chaoru still looked at her like that, "Mengli, do you think I'll hate you for this?"
She smiled with a cigarette holder in her mouth, "I don't care whether you hate me or like me. I don't care about anyone, I just care about my own happiness."
After she finished speaking, she slumped down on the raised pillow, staring carelessly as if.The doors and windows were not opened, so the smoke could not escape, and it surrounded her in a fog, making her feel temporarily safe.
The autumn trees hang bright lights, piercing through the same self-defense smog, falling on Meng Yuan's weak body, and sweeping across her face like green shade.Dong Mo looked at it, how beautiful it was.But she herself felt that it was rotten from the bones, even if it was repaired, it would be of no avail.
After taking a sip of the pot of cigarettes, she still hadn't dropped her hands, she cast her eyes on the rod of the cigarette and gave Dong Mo a scolding look, "What are you doing looking at me over there?"
Dong Mo came to take away the cigarette stick in her hand, and hugged her, "It's time for dinner."
Mengyu turned her face to his shoulder, and said in a buzzing voice, "I'm not hungry." It seemed that my mind was also buzzing and confused.
After a moment of silence, Dong Mo quickly picked her up and put her on the bed.Meng Tiao got up in doubt, and saw him frowning, rummaging through the cabinet, and finally found a black gauze round-neck gown.Meng Yao knew that the clothes were made to the wrong size, a bit short in stature, they were meant to be worn by the servants, but they were forgotten when they were put there.
He cut some long fabrics again, and came to the bed to peel off Mengyuan's clothes.It took Meng Tiao a long time to come back to her senses, she clutched her chest tightly and gouged out his eyes, "What are you doing?"
"Take you to ride a horse, and wrap your chest tightly, or it will hurt." He pushed her hand away, and kissed her soft heart very preciously, smiling, with an upright look, "Go out and run for a while." You'll get hungry if you run."
"I can't ride a horse."
"Let's ride on the same horse."
Dong Mo pulled her out, the robe he was wearing was short, but it was long on Meng Yu's body, Xie Chun smiled and said: "Looking from behind, the girl looks like the son of the master, and she is not afraid of stepping on the hem of the robe and wrestling?"
Anyway, it was unnecessary clothes, Xie Chun cut off the hem of the clothes, rolled up the cuffs several times, and tied the belt again and again.When the two walked into the garden, they accidentally ran into Kou Hen, and Meng Tiao unconsciously hid behind Dong Mo.
Dong Mo held Meng Tiao tightly, and said with a smile to Kou Hen: "I forgot to tell my sister, we are leaving for Hebei, you should also pack up and start. I will turn to Guangping Mansion on the way, I am afraid I will By the way, please get ready and leave first, don't wait for me."
Kou Hen didn't argue this time, and nodded, "Okay, you are busy with your business." After finishing speaking, he looked at Meng Yu with a crooked smile, "Where is Miss Meng going with this dress?"
Meng Yu averted his eyes, Dong Mo replied indifferently: "Go out and ride a horse."
Kou Hen thoughtfully said: "Oh, you have to be careful, Miss Meng probably doesn't know how to ride a horse, so don't drop her."
They rode out from the door all the way. Dong Mo always rode slowly on the road, for fear that the horse's hoof would step on someone.At the moment when the sun was setting and there were few people in the market, he was a little disregarded and very indulgent, hugging Meng Yuan in front of him and whipping his whip all the way.
The sky was getting darker, the flowers moved and the trees around her turned, and the autumn wind blew towards Mengyu almost with hatred. She was a little happy.
Not knowing where he ran, Dong Mo helped Meng Tiao get off his horse.Falling into the darkness, you can only see the dark shadows of the mountains around you, and there is a small mound in front of you, with soft grass growing under your feet.
Meng Yu walked up to the mound, and far below, there was another depression. There were several families in the depression, with candles lit, like fireflies.The mountain wind rushed towards her face, shaking Meng Yuan's clothes. As soon as she turned around, Dong Mo greeted her with a lantern.
She leaned on Dong Mo's shoulder.The star river above the head is bright and clean, surrounded by crescent moons.The wind in the wilderness whimpered, blowing like drifting, not knowing where it was going to go.She posted a note on his neck, still feeling a torrent of uneasiness, "Did you go out of the city, and the city gate will be closed later, how do we go home?"
"No." He raised his finger to show her, "It's the big mountain at the back of Fushun Street, we usually see it from the porch when we look up, don't you think that's it?"
Meng Tiao followed his hand to look out, and there was a huge monster lying on the horizon, he couldn't see what it looked like, it looked like a big beast, "Usually I thought it wasn't far away, but it's still so far away when I come here."
Dong Mo put his arms around her waist and smiled, "The wind blows so refreshingly here, I'm always suffocating what to do in the garden. When you're hungry, we'll go back to eat."
He was so thoughtful, always, that all his plans in life, save his business, were about her.Mengtiao used to feel very happy, but gradually, he developed some feelings of being unworthy of virtue.
She lowered her face and smiled lonely, "You have nothing to ask me?"
Dong Mo shook his head, and tightened his grip on her, "I don't want to ask about your past, it doesn't matter too much. I just want to ask you about our trip to Hebei. Have you pawned all the things you said you wanted to pawn?"
He looked at her, eyes full of depressed expectations.
"I'm waiting for the shopkeeper of the pawn shop to collect the money and send it, about ten days."
Meng Tiaoming knew that he was waiting for the answer to another question.He is so kind, never forcing her, willing to wait for her in the future.
But she still broods over the past.She thought about the question for a long time, but the answer was far from what she had assumed.There is no affection in her flesh and blood, but the result of primitive copulation.Perhaps it was for this reason that she was doomed to have no relationship with love in her life, and every time she ended in embarrassment.
She raised her eyes to look at Dong Mo. Outside the ups and downs of his profile, the horse was tied to a tree by the side of the wild road, occasionally kicking its hooves calmly.The moon shone on him and his horse, a desolate silhouette.
He didn't say much, mostly just silence.Why is he so nice, so nice that she wants to escape.

Shura Field is about to open~
On the way, Caiyi suddenly had tears on her cheeks, and she couldn't stop crying.Meng Tiao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, smiled, "Well, why are you crying? People say that a woman with a body will cry and laugh at one time, and her face changes very quickly. It really looks good."
Caiyi sniffled her nose a few times, lowered her face for a while, and raised her face tearfully, "Girl, sooner or later you will have someone to belong to. You are a good person, and good people will be rewarded."
This made Meng Yuan feel very sad. She has always judged people very accurately, but she didn't know how to judge herself.In terms of being bad, it would not be a big villain or a big evil, but if you say that you are a good person, you can't talk about it anyway. You just fell into the world, an ordinary person covered in stains, and you can't tell whether you are worthy of a good result.
She laughed, "Who says I'm a bad person?" Gradually, she also choked up a little, and smiled lonely, "I see, thank you, it's not a loss for me to support you. I will not be in Jinan anymore. , you have been bullied, but no one will vent your anger for you. Be careful, you are going to be a mother, don't be so stupid like that. "
Caiyi nodded brokenly, Mengtiaofu pulled her towards the door.The sun was shining vigorously, and standing in the thick shade under the door cover, my body was still cold.Meng Yu urged her to go in several times, but Cai Yi refused to leave, "I'm watching the girl go."
Meng Tiao had no choice but to grab the skirt and get off, walked to the sedan chair, looked back, the long street was facing Zhumen, and the sun was shining on the colorful clothes.It seemed to be a part of her past. The self who was a little naive and ignorant stood in the distant memory and waved to her.
She had no choice but to harden her heart and move forward, throwing away those innocence, in order to survive tenaciously in this world.
By the way, I walked to Yunsheng Lane, and when I entered the courtyard, I saw the old housekeeper in the former Meng Mansion directing the servants to carry things. The scene was chaotic, as if he was about to go somewhere.
Seeing Meng Yuan, the old housekeeper still addressed him as "Madam" and turned his head to report to the room.At the end, she saw Yinlian holding the child coming down the steps from the door, smiling and saluting first, then holding the child's hand and bowing to Mengyu, "Call me madam, call me madame, say madam is happy."
Mengyu held his hand and smiled, "If you want to change from the past, you still have to call me 'mother'. Can you speak?"
Yinlian led her into the room, "I don't know how to do it, I can only babble, and I occasionally utter two words, but they seem to be similar. Why do you want to come to me, girl? I don't know what to do here." Easy to find, no detours, right?"
"I've been here before." Meng Yu turned and landed on the couch, and raised her eyebrows at her prettyly, "You don't know, you were robbed by bandits that year, and Meng Yu led troops to rescue you. Just came to your place once."
Yin Lian was carrying the baby to the nurse, turned around, feeling a little embarrassed.When I was nervous, the old address popped up, "It turns out that my wife knows..."
"I know." Meng Yao nodded her chin, with a look of relief, "You sit. This is your home, you stand and I sit, what do you look like?"
Yinlian sat down in embarrassment, her buttocks touched half of the couch, her hands rested on her lap, the little daughter-in-law behaved like a mother-in-law, even a little bit frightened.Meng Tiao couldn't help laughing, "Why are you so afraid of me? Since you and I met, I don't seem to have said anything serious to you."
A slanting light came in from the window, ironing on the face of the anemone, the outline became softer, but it seemed to have lost weight again.In an instant, as if going back to the past, Meng Yu was sitting opposite her, laughing and talking about everything about Meng Yuan.
Her fear of Meng Yu came from Meng Yu's description at the beginning, and she felt her sharp edge before she recognized Meng Yu.Later, he felt guilty and guilty, and couldn't hold his head up in front of Meng Yuan.

"Brother Yu also meant the same thing." Yinlian smiled, glanced at her, and lowered her eyes again, "He said he couldn't die, so he didn't know where to put him, and told me to wait for him in Jinan, and he would definitely come to pick me up .”
Meng Tiao's heart dropped for no reason, and then he smiled and said: "Look, I said, one day, he will love you with all his heart."
"I think about it, but I still don't feel at ease. Telling me to wait here is like a year. It's better to follow. On the way, I will follow the housekeeper and send off people, and I won't be tired.

After a moment of silence, Yinlian thought of something, raised her head and said, "Ma'am, I saw Miss Mei on Fushun Street two days ago. She was sitting in a carriage and stopped at the entrance of Shengman Inn. There was a servant who came to meet her, but I didn't know whose family it was. I didn't dare to say hello."
Mengtiao heard some clues from her low tone, she is a person who knows the basics, what Mengtiao can think of, maybe she has thought of it too, but she is too embarrassed to explain it too clearly.
Just who would that man be?Meng Tiao raised her eyebrows and thought, only Qiu Sheng was the only one who thought about it, maybe the two of them had a private meeting in the inn.Meng Tiao stood up and was about to go to Liu's house.
Afraid that Yinlian would notice that she was in a hurry, she hurriedly smiled softly, "I'm leaving, and I still have some property matters to explain to others."
Yin Lian stood up and wanted to send her off, but Meng Tiao pressed her hand, "Don't give it away, see you by fate."
Having said that, who knows if there is any fate.Meng Yu went out, and heard the swaying of the garden trees outside the courtyard wall, rattling, deafening, as if he came here for nothing that year, and Meng Yu was still laughing happily inside.
She and Meng Yu didn't know who would get out of the predicament first, anyway, as she expected, Meng Yu fell in love with Yinlian after all.It was also because she had expected it earlier, so she backed away early.Thinking about it now, I always feel that I was squeezed out.
When I arrived at Liu's house, I didn't expect Dong Mo to be here.Liu Chaoru and Dong Mo greeted each other under the verandah.Liu Chaoru cupped his hands and joked, "Sister and Zhang Ping made an appointment to meet at my house?"
Dong Mo walked down the steps and took Mengtang's hand, "Didn't you go to see Caiyi?"
"I've been there. I had lunch at Hong's house. I went out, so I just came to see my mother and Mei Qing." Meng Yu went to the bottom of the veranda, stretched her neck to look into the room, "Is Mei Qing here?"
Liu Chaoru smiled and said, "I went out and said I was going to Ma Tongpan's house to talk to my wife, and my mother-in-law was in the room."
Meng Yu didn't go in anymore, "You guys talk, I'll go sit in my mother's room."
Going around the corridor and entering the east chamber, the old lady seemed to be putting things away, when she heard someone coming in, she hurriedly closed the lid of the cage, seeing that it was a dream, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mum, how many possessions are there, are you still afraid of being seen?" Meng Tiao teased and closed the door, and went to the couch.
The old lady flicked her clothes to greet her, "You can't guess how much I have? I'm not afraid that you will see it, but I'm afraid that the servants below will see it. These days, if you don't see money, you are a kind person. If you see Qian, you will not be allowed to live. It’s better to be on the defensive.”
Mengyu smiled contemptuously, and when she sat down, he asked Mei Qing: "Where did Mei Qing go? I just came out of Yinlian's house, and I heard her say that she met her in front of the Shengman Inn two days ago. Mei Qing. What is she going to do in the inn? Whom is she looking for?"
The old lady's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to mutter casually, "How would I know? It's not like you don't know her temperament, and she might not tell me anything. Maybe she has some money and is planning to do something. Buying and selling, where can I meet someone who is running a business?"
How could Meng Tiao believe it? Thinking that her two thousand silver was really a waste of money, her tone turned cold, "Mother, don't be fooled by me. Mei Qing went to see Kuang Qiusheng at the Shengman Inn, right? It's not good for the two of you to be in the garden. We met at the inn, and we simply made an appointment at the inn. Really, there are people coming and going in that place, if an acquaintance sees it and spreads the word, how can Mei Qing behave? Even if I am caught in the middle, it is not easy to behave!"
"How many acquaintances does Kuang Qiusheng have in Jinan?"
It's so embarrassing, it was tricked by Meng Tiao, and he threw off his veil, "You still say you don't know! Last time you coaxed me not to hit his idea, you coaxed me into a circle!"
The voice rose sharply, and Dong Mo and Liu Chao could vaguely hear it in this room. They glanced at the window, but there was silence on the other side for a while.
Dong Mo also came to say goodbye to Liu Chaoru for the matter of going to Hebei, and when he was talking about Meng Yu being escorted to Beijing, Liu Chaoru followed up the words just now and persuaded him, "I think everything should be done according to the destiny, you and I should be responsible for this case. We have done everything we have done, and we cannot be the masters of the rest. If Meng Yu can really escape, it is his good fortune, and we can do everything we can."
"Meng Yu's life and death have nothing to do with me, I just thought, my grandfather..." Dong Mo scratched the tea bowl, his face crooked.
There was a moment of silence, and in the silence were two discouraged hearts.Liu Chaoru sighed again, "Have you thought about how to face the old man when you return to Beijing?" As he spoke, he smiled, "I think you'd better pretend you don't know. Yu Gong, he is a member of the cabinet. The meaning of the cabinet may also be the meaning of the emperor. Although you are the deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, compared with the cabinet, you know which one is higher or lower. In private, he is your grandfather. Maybe you have to check Your grandfather? Even if he took Meng Yu's money, or for other purposes to save him, and later demolished your platform, can you still care about it? I didn't provoke you. If you really want to investigate, you are the one who died. Your family may not care about the family relationship."
Speaking of this episode, Dong Mo raised his head with a smile, and there were traces of vicissitudes on his brows, and there was a hint of Jinghu Baiyuezuizhongge in that smile, "You have always been free and easy, and you can see everything."
"There's nothing you can do if you can't see it. I'm no better than you. I have a bad family background. I suffered a lot in the early years."
Here also fell silent one after another, the silence one after another was like a silk thread, tightening people one by one.
In the East Chamber, the old lady didn't bother to hide her words, she rolled her eyelids and said, "What are you afraid of, even if the second lady finds out, I don't believe they dare to publicize it. The more they are like this, the more decent they must be." , it’s not just about obediently giving money. Mother not only took their money, but also gave you an excuse, isn’t it good?”
Meng Yu was so hateful that he pressed his hands on the kang table, and stood up slightly, "It's okay for you to get angry with me, I'll be fine if you don't be the first to get mad at me! How many times have I said, live a good life, and you are so short of money?"
"Is there too much money?" The old lady had already smoked a cigarette at this time, and a cloud of white smoke popped out, and she opened a cigarette curtain, vaguely covering her careless smiling face.
Mengyu hated her indifferent attitude, she gritted her teeth with hatred, "Your family is well planned, and it is enough for the rest of your life, why are you not satisfied!"
"I'm not satisfied? I don't need money for food and clothing. How do you tell me to plan? Tell me to tighten my belt to live, why? Why can people eat, drink, and live comfortably? I have to plan carefully!"
"You are a dog who can't change eating shit!"
As soon as this remark came out, there was another sudden silence, as if the rustling wind outside the window could be heard, sweeping away the old hatred.
The old lady's face froze for a while, she patted the table, stretched her waist and sneered, "Well, you compare your mother to a beast. Even though I am a beast, you crawled out of my stomach, and you are What?!"
As he said that, he raised his head and laughed, the laughter choked his throat a few times, it seemed intermittent, bumpy, and a little crazy.
She just smiled like that, startled Mengyu, her heart tightened irregularly following her knocking throat.
I don't know what the old lady thought of, she tilted her face up until she burst into tears, covered her angry eyes, and slapped the table several times, "Papapapa", every time it touched Mengyu's heart.
Her tearful laughter was tearing, "What are you? What are you? You, you are the son of a beast! You are the son of a beast! Don't you want to know who your father is? Don't you want to know Who is your father, huh?"
She rushed to the couch, squeezed Meng Tiao's shoulders, and pulled her up from the couch, "I tell you, I tell you now, your father is two beasts, two beasts, I don't know which one of them it is ! They raped me, you are here, I don't even know their names, you want to find your father, you go, you go!"
Meng Tiao reeled from being pushed by her, and his gaze flicked back to her face in disbelief.There was another silence after that, the old lady was laughing silently, laughing hoarsely, getting more and more crazy.She turned around with a smile, and with a wave of her hand, swept down the vase on the long case. With a "bang", the dust-buried past fell into pieces and spread out in front of everyone.
Dong Mo opened the door first and came in. Seeing the mess on the ground, Meng Tiao stood there dazedly, and he hurriedly took her out.
Later, Liu Chaoru came in, took the broom and put it on the ground, and came back after a while, and saw the old lady standing there with her back, the slanting sun shone on her shoulders, and her frail shoulders were shattered. flutter.She hugged her arms tightly, obviously trying to control her trembling, but her body was out of control, and even the agates on both sides were dangling.
Turning around after a while, the man was smiling, but there were tears on his cheeks, "Did you hear that? Really, why bother to make me angry and make people watch a joke for nothing."
These words were a bit of a complaint to Mengyuan, but they were relaxed, as if the mother and daughter had just argued for a few words, which was not worth mentioning. She had already forgiven her and the past that made her hoarse.
In fact, both Liu Chaoru and Dong Mo only heard the second half of their quarrel.It is not known why the quarrel broke out. Just knowing this matter is enough to surprise people.Liu Chaoru closed the door, and walked towards her with some pain, "Is what you said just now true?"
The old lady tilted her shoulders on the couch, and lighted up the unburned cigarette again, "Ah, it's true, it's been more than 20 years, if it wasn't for Meng'er, I wouldn't even remember it."
She seemed to be a different person from the one who was hoarse and laughing just now, and she had the same lazy attitude as before.Liu Chaoru felt a little pain in his heart, but because of her indifference, he seemed a little fussed about the pain.
He sat down opposite and remained silent for a long time.The old lady didn't hear anything for a long time, she looked up suspiciously, and saw him smiling opposite, with a bitter face.
She knocked the cigarette pot in front of him, gave him a look, and the tears covering her eyes dried up, "Come on, it's been a few years, whether you want to feel bad or hate it, it's too late .Go out and act like this here, I don’t have time to watch.”
If it weren't for being aroused by Meng Yuan, she might not have much hatred.Thinking back to the hysterical look I had just now, I also found it funny, as if a ghost possessed her body more than 20 years ago.
In fact, that bit of physical pain is nothing, what she will remember forever is the continuous aftershocks afterwards.They all said that she was not good, and the neighbors all commented that it was her who posed all day long to attract bees and butterflies, and only then did she attract thieves.As time passed, her parents thought the same way, and they looked at her with resentment gradually, without opening her mouth, she knew they were talking about "slut" and "slut".
Anyway, she is innocent no matter what, but fortunately, she later found out that most people in this world are not innocent.Who is not selfish, wants to be a saint on the surface, but is full of male thieves and female prostitutes in his stomach.It's just that they hide it well.This somewhat made her feel better.
Liu Chaoru still looked at her like that, "Mengli, do you think I'll hate you for this?"
She smiled with a cigarette holder in her mouth, "I don't care whether you hate me or like me. I don't care about anyone, I just care about my own happiness."
After she finished speaking, she slumped down on the raised pillow, staring carelessly as if.The doors and windows were not opened, so the smoke could not escape, and it surrounded her in a fog, making her feel temporarily safe.
The autumn trees hang bright lights, piercing through the same self-defense smog, falling on Meng Yuan's weak body, and sweeping across her face like green shade.Dong Mo looked at it, how beautiful it was.But she herself felt that it was rotten from the bones, even if it was repaired, it would be of no avail.
After taking a sip of the pot of cigarettes, she still hadn't dropped her hands, she cast her eyes on the rod of the cigarette and gave Dong Mo a scolding look, "What are you doing looking at me over there?"
Dong Mo came to take away the cigarette stick in her hand, and hugged her, "It's time for dinner."
Mengyu turned her face to his shoulder, and said in a buzzing voice, "I'm not hungry." It seemed that my mind was also buzzing and confused.
After a moment of silence, Dong Mo quickly picked her up and put her on the bed.Meng Tiao got up in doubt, and saw him frowning, rummaging through the cabinet, and finally found a black gauze round-neck gown.Meng Yao knew that the clothes were made to the wrong size, a bit short in stature, they were meant to be worn by the servants, but they were forgotten when they were put there.
He cut some long fabrics again, and came to the bed to peel off Mengyuan's clothes.It took Meng Tiao a long time to come back to her senses, she clutched her chest tightly and gouged out his eyes, "What are you doing?"
"Take you to ride a horse, and wrap your chest tightly, or it will hurt." He pushed her hand away, and kissed her soft heart very preciously, smiling, with an upright look, "Go out and run for a while." You'll get hungry if you run."
"I can't ride a horse."
"Let's ride on the same horse."
Dong Mo pulled her out, the robe he was wearing was short, but it was long on Meng Yu's body, Xie Chun smiled and said: "Looking from behind, the girl looks like the son of the master, and she is not afraid of stepping on the hem of the robe and wrestling?"
Anyway, it was unnecessary clothes, Xie Chun cut off the hem of the clothes, rolled up the cuffs several times, and tied the belt again and again.When the two walked into the garden, they accidentally ran into Kou Hen, and Meng Tiao unconsciously hid behind Dong Mo.
Dong Mo held Meng Tiao tightly, and said with a smile to Kou Hen: "I forgot to tell my sister, we are leaving for Hebei, you should also pack up and start. I will turn to Guangping Mansion on the way, I am afraid I will By the way, please get ready and leave first, don't wait for me."
Kou Hen didn't argue this time, and nodded, "Okay, you are busy with your business." After finishing speaking, he looked at Meng Yu with a crooked smile, "Where is Miss Meng going with this dress?"
Meng Yu averted his eyes, Dong Mo replied indifferently: "Go out and ride a horse."
Kou Hen thoughtfully said: "Oh, you have to be careful, Miss Meng probably doesn't know how to ride a horse, so don't drop her."
They rode out from the door all the way. Dong Mo always rode slowly on the road, for fear that the horse's hoof would step on someone.At the moment when the sun was setting and there were few people in the market, he was a little disregarded and very indulgent, hugging Meng Yuan in front of him and whipping his whip all the way.
The sky was getting darker, the flowers moved and the trees around her turned, and the autumn wind blew towards Mengyu almost with hatred. She was a little happy.
Not knowing where he ran, Dong Mo helped Meng Tiao get off his horse.Falling into the darkness, you can only see the dark shadows of the mountains around you, and there is a small mound in front of you, with soft grass growing under your feet.
Meng Yu walked up to the mound, and far below, there was another depression. There were several families in the depression, with candles lit, like fireflies.The mountain wind rushed towards her face, shaking Meng Yuan's clothes. As soon as she turned around, Dong Mo greeted her with a lantern.
She leaned on Dong Mo's shoulder.The star river above the head is bright and clean, surrounded by crescent moons.The wind in the wilderness whimpered, blowing like drifting, not knowing where it was going to go.She posted a note on his neck, still feeling a torrent of uneasiness, "Did you go out of the city, and the city gate will be closed later, how do we go home?"
"No." He raised his finger to show her, "It's the big mountain at the back of Fushun Street, we usually see it from the porch when we look up, don't you think that's it?"
Meng Tiao followed his hand to look out, and there was a huge monster lying on the horizon, he couldn't see what it looked like, it looked like a big beast, "Usually I thought it wasn't far away, but it's still so far away when I come here."
Dong Mo put his arms around her waist and smiled, "The wind blows so refreshingly here, I'm always suffocating what to do in the garden. When you're hungry, we'll go back to eat."
He was so thoughtful, always, that all his plans in life, save his business, were about her.Mengtiao used to feel very happy, but gradually, he developed some feelings of being unworthy of virtue.
She lowered her face and smiled lonely, "You have nothing to ask me?"
Dong Mo shook his head, and tightened his grip on her, "I don't want to ask about your past, it doesn't matter too much. I just want to ask you about our trip to Hebei. Have you pawned all the things you said you wanted to pawn?"
He looked at her, eyes full of depressed expectations.
"I'm waiting for the shopkeeper of the pawn shop to collect the money and send it, about ten days."
Meng Tiaoming knew that he was waiting for the answer to another question.He is so kind, never forcing her, willing to wait for her in the future.
But she still broods over the past.She thought about the question for a long time, but the answer was far from what she had assumed.There is no affection in her flesh and blood, but the result of primitive copulation.Perhaps it was for this reason that she was doomed to have no relationship with love in her life, and every time she ended in embarrassment.
She raised her eyes to look at Dong Mo. Outside the ups and downs of his profile, the horse was tied to a tree by the side of the wild road, occasionally kicking its hooves calmly.The moon shone on him and his horse, a desolate silhouette.
He didn't say much, mostly just silence.Why is he so nice, so nice that she wants to escape.
