Tong Mansion.

Si Tingyan and Lu Yunxi waited for a full stick of incense before the girl next to Tong Meng came to invite them.

As soon as the two of them walked into the house, they saw that the whole room was dark, and the room was filled with a burst of smoke, and it seemed that a faint layer of fog was floating back and forth.

Lu Yunxi had never smelled such a unique smell, her eyes were gently frowned together, she raised her right hand, and the handkerchief was blocked in front of the tip of her nose, and she shook it lightly twice.

"It's the taste of *** indeed. ”

Si Tingyan behind him said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi's heart tightened, don't look over, and glanced at Si Tingyan twice.

"You're here. ”

But I heard a weak voice from inside the room.

The two followed the sound and saw Tong Meng open the tent of the couch with one hand, and the other hand hanging down to his side, and carrying a brass smoking pot in his hand.

There was still a slight amount of gas coming out of the smoke pot, and the light mist in the room was slowly diffusing from the smoke pot.

"Miss Tong?"

Tong Meng slowly raised his head and lit the red candle on the side of the couch.

The darkness in the room was gradually dispelled, and Lu Yunxi saw the cheek of the person in front of him clearly.

saw that Tong Meng's cheeks were yellow, his cheeks were sunken downward, his eyes were dull, and the dark blue color under his eyes was heavy.

In the past, Tong Meng's body has not been very good, but although he is weak, his complexion is not like today.

Seeing this, Lu Yunxi and Si Tingyan looked at each other, and their hearts were tight.

The two of them stepped forward and sat on the edge of the couch.

Tong Meng coughed twice, put the brass smoking pot aside, and gently knocked one or two, only then did he hook the corners of his lips and reveal an embarrassing smile.

She lowered her head slightly, and glanced blankly at the tips of her fingers.

Lu Yunxi followed Tong Meng's gaze, and really saw a faint layer of yellow on the tips of her fingers.

Lu Yunxi specifically went to find out, and it was a trace left by people who smoked ***.

Seeing Lu Yunxi looking at herself, Tong Meng raised her hand gently, her fingertips flicked slightly on her cheeks twice, revealing a look of embarrassment, and said softly, "Let Miss Lu smile." ”

"Miss Tong, why are you doing this?"

Lu Yunxi couldn't help feeling distressed, stared at Tong Meng, and asked softly.

Tong Meng was about to speak, but there was a surge of qi and blood, and he kept coughing twice.

Her body bowed like a cat, and the cough continued for a long time before it slowly stopped.

"I thought this thing would make my body better, but I didn't expect it to just squeeze my body dry. ”

Si Tingyan, who had been sitting on one side and had never spoken, said in a deep voice, "Smoking*** can stimulate people's spirits for a while, but after that, it will be repaid a hundredfold and a thousand times." After a long time, it will exhaust people's qi and blood. ”

When Tong Meng heard this, the corners of his eyebrows drooped, his eyes crumbled tightly, and he only showed a helpless smile.

Then, she took a long deep breath, "Si Gongzi said yes." At first, I felt like I was much better, and I never stayed by myself for so many years. For those two days, I was able to stay by myself. However, unexpectedly, only two days later, my body was getting worse and worse. ”

Si Tingyan's right hand on his lap rubbed lightly, his eyes moved lightly, "You have been sick for many years, and you are already empty inside, so you need to recuperate." Snorting*** will only accelerate the deterioration of your body. ”

Lu Yunxi's heart tightened, stretched out her hand, gently held Tong Meng's white wrist, and stared into Tong Meng's eyes, "Miss Tong, why are you so stupid?"

When Tong Meng heard this, a tear dripped down his eyes.

The tip of her nose twitched, and she took a deep breath, "For so many years, I have been lingering on the sickbed, and my body is not as good as day by day. Miss Lu, you don't know how much I envy the young ladies outside who are strong and can go to restaurants and poetry meetings with one or two close friends every day. ”

When Tong Meng said that he was emotional, his eyes turned a little red, and then he was slightly moist, "But ......"

Seeing this, Lu Yunxi's heart sank.

She held Tong Meng's wrist and increased her strength a little, but she was afraid of crushing the person in front of her, so she loosened some strength.

"If I can go out like them, even once, I'll be satisfied. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi glanced at Si Tingyan again.

"Miss Tong wants to go?"

Tong Meng raised his head suddenly, staring at Lu Yunxi in surprise.

"Absolutely. But my face ......"

"If Miss Tong wants to go, just leave this matter to me. ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Yunxi took out the foundation and eye shadow she was carrying, gently supported Tong Meng's shoulders, and asked her to sit up straight on the edge of the bed.

In less than a stick of incense, Lu Yunxi finished her makeup.

Tong Meng looked at himself in the mirror, his right hand involuntarily rested on his face, flicking back and forth, his eyes were full of joy, "Miss Lu, this ......"

"Let's go. ”

Lu Yunxi held Tong Meng's shoulders, smiled lightly, and said in a low voice.

Xu is because he has fulfilled his dream for many years, Tong Meng's heart is happy, and even his complexion is much better.

Lu Yunxi supported Tong Meng, Si Tingyan followed behind, and the three of them went out of the house, and they didn't call a carriage, but only walked around the street on foot.

The sun shines on the streets, and the sounds of the surrounding vendors fill your ears.

Everyone was surprised when they saw Tong Meng.

She has a ruddy complexion, a pair of delicate and good-looking eyes, and her eyes are full of smart colors, where does she look like a person who has been on the sick bed for many years?

Tong Meng stood at the end of the street, raised his head, his right hand in front of him, and the sunlight sprinkled through his fingers in his eyes.

She's been looking forward to this day for years!

The three of them walked around for a long time, talking and laughing, at first Lu Yunxi was still worried about Tong Meng's body, but she didn't expect her to be so energetic, she changed her decadence, and when she sent Tong Meng back home, it was already midnight.

Tong Meng instructed the girl to send the two away, and sat alone in the courtyard, lighting a candle and placing a bronze mirror in front of him.

Tong Meng couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was actually herself - she looked at herself in the mirror, and for so many years, she had never seen herself so ruddy.

"Miss. ”

The girl turned back into the courtyard, stood behind Tong Meng, and called her in a low voice.

Tong Meng put a letter on the stone table, pushed it forward, didn't look over, looked at the girl twice, and said softly, "You will hand over this thing to Miss Lu and Si Gongzi tomorrow." ”

The girl carefully put the letter away.

"Miss, the slave maid will go and fetch water for you to wash. ”

Seeing the girl leave, Tong Meng involuntarily stretched out her hand and touched herself in the mirror, "With such a good-looking makeup, even death is worth it." ”

After speaking, Tong Meng slowly bowed down, lay on the table, and gently slid down with his right hand.

The girl walked into the courtyard with a basin of water, saw Tong Meng lying on the side of the stone table, stepped forward cautiously, stretched out her hand, probed Tong Meng's snort, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", put her hands in front of her, and said loudly, "Miss......"
