The men spun around in surprise and quickly left.

The three people who escaped a "catastrophe" breathed a sigh of relief, and Siqing turned around to find that Cheng Yiheng had finally climbed to the top of the wall.

"Bye-bye. Huai'an stretched out his hand and watched Cheng Yiheng jump off the top of the wall, so he walked back side by side with Siqing.

I only took a step, but I heard a "poof" outside, and then an angry roar sounded: "I'll go, puddle!"

The two looked at each other, smiling very uncomfortably.

The matter was settled, and the others searched again, but they couldn't find it, so they went to the front hall to reply to the news, and Huai'an and Siqing just returned to the front hall, Meng Hongxian saw them, and asked, "Can you see Cheng Gongzi today?"

"He came to me earlier, but is gone. Huai'an replied truthfully, many people in the house had seen him, and it was no good to tell this lie.

"Where have you gone?"

"I don't know. Huai'an deliberately raised his voice, "What kind of person he is, he must know better than me in his house, people will not leave, and they will report to me where to go." ”

Meng Hongxian nodded, looked back at Cheng Quan, and his tone sounded very sincere: "You have all heard it, if you still have any doubts, you can also send someone in to search." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him were shocked, and secretly asked, "Master, did you really let them search?"

Even if the Meng family is not a high-ranking official and nobleman, they also have a head and face in Xuncheng, what is the difference between asking people to enter the door to search, and humiliating them in person?

However, Meng Hongxian shook his head at him, signaling that the people around him didn't need to ask more.

He knew in his heart that this group of people would not dare to come in, and Lord Cheng only sent a family member today, and did not order the patrol camp, what he was afraid of was being questioned about "using private power", since he was afraid, he naturally did not have the courage to let people trespass on people's houses without taking a search warrant.

His move to retreat was very effective, and the other party moved for a while, and then arched his hand and said: "Naturally, there is no doubt, Master Meng, your reputation is in sight, and you will not insult your reputation in the future, your words are trustworthy." ”

Listening to the hustle and bustle outside, there were crowded footsteps approaching, Cheng Quan said again: "Your house seems to have guests visiting, so I won't stay longer, please forgive me for bothering me today!"

After that, he glanced at the two people around him, and the three of them turned around at the same time to go out.

Meng Hongxian got cheap and began to behave obediently, shouting painlessly behind his back: "It's not a guest, it's my second son who came back from abroad, if you don't dislike it, you stay and drink a catch-up wine?"

"Master Meng, you have a family reunion, so you won't bother when you are late. Cheng Quan responded politely, and at the same time complimented him, "Ling Gongzi is a talent who stays abroad, he will fly Huang Tengda one day, and the adults of my family will be congratulated in advance." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Huai'an, thought about it, and added: "The second young master is also a talent, my son-in-law can meet a friend like the young master, it is his blessing, the second young master will be promoted in the future, but don't forget my son-in-law!"

In order not to be heard too deliberately, he paused for a moment and said: "If the young master sees my son-in-law again, I hope to let him know, so that we can invite him back as soon as possible." ”

After all the words were said, I went out with peace of mind.

Here Huai'an replied to his words: "I will tell you if I see it, but let's say it here first, Cheng Yiheng will not be able to come back after leaving here......"

Before the words fell, a shout was heard.

The familiar ones make people want to sharpen their knives.

Looking ahead, I saw Cheng Yiheng running and jumping through the gate, and a few people behind him followed, it was the subordinates of the Cheng family who were guarding outside, these subordinates probably saw him outside the door, for fear that he would disappear again, so they followed in.

"You...... Why are you back again?" Huai'an and Siqing's eyes widened in unison.

Cheng Quan's eyes widened, the surprise came too suddenly, and he was busy welcoming it.

"I'll go back with you later, don't come yet. Cheng Yiheng waved his hand at Cheng Quanyi, put the person who had just come over to the side, and then looked straight in the direction of Huai'an and Siqing, "I'm curious, the third young master of your family is too big, and there are a bunch of people repairing the yard for him before he arrives, didn't I hear that he came back when I jumped over the wall just now, I have to see what kind of ghost and snake god this person is." ”

As he spoke, he hooked his hand: "Are people here?"

Huai comforted his forehead, not daring to look at Meng Hongxian and the old lady with their angry looks, only lowered his head and pointed behind him.

Cheng Yiheng turned around and saw Meng Ting'an, who happened to walk in.

This time, his curiosity was probably not wasted.

Siqing also looked over, she only met Meng Ting'an once when she was a child, and she didn't remember her appearance for a long time, not to mention that people will change when they grow up.

But even if you don't recognize it, you don't need guidance.

Surrounded by a bunch of people, it was Meng Ting'an, the family dragged his luggage, the maids sorted out his clothes, Pan Lanfang took his arm and asked for warmth, the old lady stood under the eaves of the porch and looked at him with tears in her eyes, and even He Shi followed behind, with joy written on her face.

At this time, he walked to the eaves of the corridor, hugged the old lady first, and then asked An Dao in turn, walked in front of Siqing, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What is Siyi...... Something has changed?"

"Haha, this is not Siyi, it's Siqing. He Shi answered with a smile, "Siyi hasn't gotten out of school yet, you came back early and didn't say hello, she doesn't know yet, and when she gets home and sees you, she must be happy." ”

"Siqing?" Meng Ting'an obviously hadn't thought about it yet.

The old lady reminded: "She is your fourth sister." ”

"It turned out to be the fourth sister. He finally reacted.

It seems that he only knows that he has a fourth sister, but he doesn't know the name.

He said the same goodbye to Siqing, and did not ask why she was in the Meng family, nor did he have any other greetings.

Compared with Cheng Yiheng's lifeless curiosity, he has no curiosity at all.

After Siqing returned the salute, she watched him turn around.

His figure is similar to Huai'an, all as straight as a jade tree, the set of dark blue suits makes him look elegant and noble, his face is very white, a pair of big eyes seem to be glowing with moisture, his lips are thin, and he smiles faintly, like the soft ripples of the lake.

He turned to look at Cheng Yiheng, revealing a confused gaze again.

Without waiting for others to answer, Cheng Yiheng took the lead in opening his mouth to him: "You are Meng Ting'an, fortunately, I am your brother's friend, go back and drink together to ......"

The old lady Meng Hongxian and the others immediately blackened their faces.

Seeing this, Cheng Quan hurriedly stepped forward to pull his son-in-law, desperately making a look.

But Cheng Yiheng didn't see the faces of others, and only looked at the person in front of him: "Are you learning painting from foreigners, are you learning foreign painting?"

Ting An didn't seem to have figured out how to communicate with this abrupt person, and there was no response.

Meng Hongxian coughed with anger, and interjected: "Cheng Gongzi, the dog studied decorative arts in France, focusing on modeling and color design, which is closely related to our porcelain art, and has little to do with Western painting. ”

"Porcelain art still needs to go abroad to study?" Cheng Yiheng was inexplicably dissatisfied, "Waste the opportunity, but ...... You must know something about Western painting, right?"

"Cheng Gongzi, what the people of the Meng family want to learn has nothing to do with others. Meng Hongxian's face is already blue, even if he is the son of an official eunuch, but as a junior, such rudeness between words is intolerable to Meng Hongxian, who loves face.

Meng Tingan wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and stopped again.

Cheng Quan stepped forward again to pull Cheng Yiheng and whispered: "Son, let's go quickly, the master has already found you, and if you don't go back, your painting will suffer again." ”

Cheng Yiheng didn't move, and as soon as the housekeeper turned his head and spoke, several subordinates of the Cheng family came forward and surrounded him with coaxing and persuasion.

He was forced to move outward, helplessly looking back, and shouted again: "Meng Huai'an, someone is painting for you anyway, you have to take your younger brother who has been abroad out of the country and tell us about the scenery outside......"

Shouting, the man was already out of the front yard.

As soon as he was put down, he suddenly heard a sharp voice: "Wait a minute." ”

He stood up and turned around, and saw that Meng Hongxian was calling him.

"Cheng Gongzi just said......" Meng Hongxian's eyes lit up, "Someone painted for Huai'an?"

Cheng Yiheng was startled and realized that he had slipped his mouth.

Siqing painted for Huai'an or Cheng Yiheng proposed, last time they fell on a horse together and were injured, there is even more reason to let Siqing paint for him, needless to say, he can guess it.

Huai'an was also startled, and slowly moved behind the crowd, wanting to avoid Meng Hongxian's sight, and then took the opportunity to run away.

But Meng Hongxian's sharp eyes passed through the head, shooting straight like a sharp arrow, shrouding his body like a bell, so that he couldn't run away.

He had to walk out stupidly, lowered his head and was about to admit his mistake, but Meng Hongxian didn't wait for him to speak, suddenly grabbed a chair and threw it over, the chair smashed on the pillar next to him, and suddenly made everyone present startled.

But seeing that the wooden chair had broken a leg, the crumbling pieces of wood brushed against Huai'an's face, and the sharp edges and corners dilated in his pupils.

Instinctively, he ducked back, missing the flying piece of wood and saving his eyes.

This is the biggest fire since Siqing came to Meng's house, seeing Meng Hongxian's biggest fire, in the past, he lost his temper a little, and there were still Pan Lanfang's gags to ease the atmosphere, and now Pan Lanfang was also shocked and didn't dare to take a step forward.

And the old lady's face was also full of anger, looking at his expression, he still thought that Meng Hongxian's anger was not big enough, so he would not dissuade him.

"I spent my energy asking the teacher to teach you, and you actually asked someone to draw for you!" But Meng Hongxian roared angrily, "You kneel down for me!"

"It's not appropriate to be kneeling with so many people, Master Meng, you don't give your son face too much. Cheng Yiheng stood under the courtyard gate and shouted.

Meng Hongxian ignored it and continued to roar: "Kneel!"

Huai'an sighed, waved his hand at the people outside, signaled him to hurry up, and then dusted off his clothes and stepped forward to kneel.

Meng Hongxian roared again: "Siqing also kneels down!"

As soon as the matter of the substitution painting was revealed, it was not difficult to know who painted it for him, Meng Hongxian pulled someone down and asked, and according to the description of the next person, he quickly found Xiu'e, and it was clear in a few moments.

What's more, Mr. He also admitted that in Mr. He's eyes, this is not a big deal, and even if it is leaked, it will not have many serious consequences, but at this moment, he in the library categorically did not expect Meng Hongxian to be so angry.

Siqing knelt down beside Huai'an, Huai'an looked at her sideways, showing an apologetic look, she smiled and shook her head.

"Do you still dare to laugh?" This smile was caught by Meng Hongxian, and it was immediately brought into play, "I thought you were honest, but now you have learned to deceive people with them, do you remember that I didn't allow you to learn painting?"

Siqing hurriedly bowed his head: "Remember." ”

"Then why don't you listen?"

"I ......"

Siqing hesitated to word, and the "initiator" at the door, Cheng Yiheng, who was unconscious, answered again: "Because your son's arm was broken, they were also forced to do so." ”

"Broke your arm?" Meng Hongxian was stunned.

Huai'an hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, intending to fight for a wave of sympathy, but before he could make a move, he heard Meng Hongxian raise his voice and say: "Why did you fall and get hurt, what did you do, did you fight again, I knew that you wouldn't do anything except cause trouble!"
