Chapter 234: Goodbye
Dong Meng finished taking a milk bath and wanted to wait for Lu Yunxi to come back in the Sifu.
However, after waiting for more than an hour, she had not seen Lu Yunxi, so she had no choice but to leave first.
I wanted to go back to the house directly, but for some reason, Dong Meng actually ordered the sedan chair man to go to Dong's shop.
She stood under the plaque, raised her head, and when she saw the words of Dong's grain store rushing into her eyes, Dong Meng realized that she had come to the store unconsciously.
Why?
Dong Meng couldn't help but ask himself.
Why did she come to the store out of the blue?
Thinking of Nangong Long's dark pupils looking at him yesterday, Dong Mengzhi walked into the store uncontrollably.
She didn't know where else she could find Nangong Long, so she could only choose this method, wait in the store, and see if he would come to the store today.
Dong Luan went to East Street to collect rent, not in the store.
The guy wanted to welcome Dong Meng to the second floor, but he didn't expect Dong Meng to order them to reserve a seat for themselves on the first floor, order tea, and look through the accounts in the store while looking forward to Nangong Long's appearance.
I sat from the afternoon until the sun was about to set.
Dong Luan's carriage and horse also stopped in front of the store, and when he learned that Dong Meng and others were in the store, he hurriedly got out of the carriage.
"Father. ”
Dong Meng watched Dong Luan walk into the store, and a little loss rose in his heart.
When her father came, it meant that she was going home.
The guy fetched water and wiped Dong Luan's hands.
Dong Luan handed the handkerchief to the guy behind him, and then looked at Dong Meng, "You like to walk around the store these two days." ”
"If you have nothing to do, come and have a look in the store. ”
Dong Luan sat beside Dong Meng and smiled, "You should come to the store often." The house is depressed, you are still young, and always staying in the house is less energetic than a young person should have. ”
Dong Meng smiled, lowered his head, and gently wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief.
She thought about how to open her mouth and asked Dong Luan when Nangong Long would come to the store to collect grain in the past.
"Today is the eighth day of the new year, and my father should not have gone to collect rent. Why did you go today?"
After thinking for a long time, Dong Mengcai asked softly.
"I was supposed to go tomorrow. But today, a grain merchant from the south handed me an invitation to go and eat with him in the evening. I'm worried that tomorrow I will get drunk and make a mistake, so I will collect the rent today. ”
"Southern grain merchants?"
Dong Meng showed a little surprise.
Dong Luan nodded, "It's the one you saw yesterday." ”
Dong Meng's heart beat faster, and the blood in his whole body instantly surged up his cheeks.
Even if she didn't have a mirror, she could see that her face must be as red as an apple now.
"It's him. ”
Dong Meng lowered his head as he spoke, his hands tightly intertwined, his throat slid up and down, his mind turned rapidly, thinking about how he should answer.
At this moment, he saw that Dong Luan beside him had already stood up, glanced at the direction outside the house, and showed a smile, "He's here." ”
Dong Meng raised his head suddenly in panic, looked in the direction of Dong Luan's finger, and froze in place, motionless.
saw Nangong Long riding a big white horse, turning over and dismounting in front of the store.
Today he wears a white robe with a fan pinned to his waist. Before he got off the horse, he opened the fan with a 'swish' and shook it slightly.
It looks like a god coming down from the sky.
Dong Meng froze in place, staring at Nangong Long.
It wasn't until Nangong Long walked in front of her, exchanged a few words with Dong Luan, looked at her, and said softly, "I heard that Miss Dong has an outstanding temperament and was born beautiful. ”
Dong Meng woke up like a dream, showed a smile to Nangong Long, tried his best to stabilize his heartbeat, curtsy to him, lowered his head, and lowered his eyelids, "Thank you Nangong Gongzi for the compliment." ”
In fact, Dong Meng's actions don't seem to have any mistakes or omissions, not only does it look generous and polite.
However, she herself was extremely nervous, and her palms were clammy and cold.
Nangong Long retracted his gaze, stopped talking to Dong Meng, and only asked Dong Luan to leave together.
Dong Meng didn't know what Dong Luan had instructed him when he left, he only remembered that when Nangong Long left, he turned his head and showed her a serene smile.
Dong Meng had never seen such a smile on any man.
That kind of smile looks like a man's gentleness and a bit of a woman's sweetness, and the two feelings are mixed together, but there is no sense of disobedience.
After a long time, when he heard the guy behind him calling him, Dong Meng turned his head as if he had just woken up from a dream.
The guy looked at Dong Meng, "Miss, the master ordered us to send you back." ”
Dong Meng agreed, and then walked out of the store with the guy and got into the sedan chair.
Dong Luan didn't return to the mansion until late at night.
He was very drunk, and as soon as he returned to the house, he ordered someone to call Dong Meng.
Dong Luan is a businessman and always has a lot of entertainment.
However, he has always been very good at drinking, and he never plays drunk in the house.
Dong Meng was a little surprised, and hurried to the front hall with his mother-in-law and the little maids.
Only then did she realize that Dong Luan not only called herself, but her mother was also sitting in the main hall.
She and Dong Luan were whispering, and when they saw Dong Meng walk into the house, the two stopped talking.
"Father, you call me. ”
Dong Meng saluted, glanced at the two of them, and asked softly.
"Meng'er, you're not too young. A few years ago, because of the smell on your body, it was delayed for many years. Now, since the smell on your body has dissipated, and some people are asking for marriage, what do you think?"
Hearing this, the corners of Dong Meng's eyebrows frowned, and he raised his head in surprise and looked at Dong Luan, "Father, who is asking for marriage?"
Dong Luan glanced at his wife, pursed the corners of his lips, and thought for a moment, "It's the southern grain merchant today-Nangong Long." ”
Hearing this, Dong Meng almost screamed.
She looked at Dong Luan, her eyes were full of complicated emotions, and she didn't say a word.
"Meng'er, a grain merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, is naturally incomparable to those princes and nobles in the capital. However, this Nangong family is also the premier family in Jiangnan, if you marry it, it will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Mother said on the side.
Dong Meng was still stunned in place, motionless.
Seeing this, Dong Luan's wine strength was more than half awake.
He only thought that Dong Meng was unwilling to marry a mere grain merchant, and immediately said, "If you don't want to, you will push it for your father." As the only daughter of my Dong family, if you want to marry someone, you will definitely marry someone you like, and you must not be wronged. ”
Dong Meng didn't wait for Dong Luan to finish speaking, then interrupted him, "Father, my daughter is willing." ”
Dong Luan and his wife never expected Dong Meng to agree so happily, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.
"Good, good. ”
Dong Luan said a few good things in a row.
"I'll go and talk back to Nangong Gongzi tomorrow. ”
