Chapter 35 Only the passing fragrance of the sideburns

Huang Qilun rode on a bicycle like a bulging sail on the sea to ride the wind and waves, and when he arrived at Chengfu according to Gong Mengshu's instructions, he was already sweating. Gong Mengshu carried a snack bag, jumped off the bicycle, and thanked Huang Qilun sincerely.

Huang Qilun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, who made us friends? You go in quickly—I'm also leaving, so as not to let people see that it won't affect you well......."

Gong Mengshu never knew that Huang Qilun would be so considerate, her already cold heart was slightly warmed by him, but she didn't know how to thank him again, so she could only nod, watching Huang Qilun get on the bicycle again and turn back, she ran to the gate of Cheng's mansion, but found that the gate was closed.

Tonight, a stage was set up in the house, and even the gatekeepers were too lazy to watch the play, and even the coachman who claimed to be going back to escort Miss Lu didn't know how to get to the side of the stage to watch the excitement. No one cared that Gong Mengshu would come back after buying dim sum, and he couldn't get in.

Gong Mengshu slapped the door again for a long time, the palms of his hands were red, and the magnificent red lacquered door still did not make any sound. She walked around to the back door, and no one answered the back door. I have been tired for this scene for more than ten days, and today I am even more nervous and busy, and I have been running around for most of the night, Gong Mengshu is hungry and cold, and suddenly feels very dizzy. She barely supported herself and walked back to the gate, leaning on the cold gate and resting for a long time, still holding the hard-won osmanthus black plum cake in her arms.

The night was getting deeper, the cold was pressing, and Gong Mengshu, who was thinly dressed, couldn't wait quietly, she began to walk back and forth in front of the gate, stomping her feet lightly from time to time to force away the chill that seeped from the soles of her feet. Gong Mengshu stopped and listened quietly for a while, and heard that Hua Dan sang: "Half a world clothes, a drama dream, I don't know where?......?

Listening to it from such a distance, the singing voice is high-pitched and tactful, but there is a bit of desolation in the lingering. Gong Mengshu listened in a daze, feeling nostalgic in her heart, feeling that her eyes were hot, and she was almost about to shed tears, she hurriedly held back. Even if there was no one at the gate in the middle of the night, she didn't want people to see that on such a lively and festive night, she was crying alone outside the gate of Cheng's house.

After more than an hour, it was finally quiet inside, and there was finally a rush of footsteps on the side of the gate, and it seemed that the show was finally coming to an end. The heavy door was opened with a bang, and the gatekeeper suddenly saw Gong Mengshu who was waiting by the gate, his face was a little sneering, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss Gong, you are outside the door, let's go to see the excitement just now, I'm sorry for you......"

Gong Mengshu was chilling all over his body, and even his voice trembled a little when he answered, "Lu ...... Small...... Sister, you want to ...... Return...... Go, do you want to go back?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to come out soon, so you better stay away—" replied the doorman courteously.

Gong Mengshu smiled bitterly, how to avoid it, this Huangji osmanthus black plum cake has not been given to anyone yet. At this moment, I saw a crowd of people surrounding Lu Qingqing, who was well-mannered, bypassing the shadow wall and coming to the gate. Accompanied by Cheng Chazhong and Cheng Ruikai, father and son, as well as the third aunt and the fourth aunt.

Seeing Gong Mengshu standing at the gate with a dim sum bag, Cheng Chazhong frowned and said, "Why did you come back so late? This scene is over......" Gong Mengshu wanted to tell the truth, but when she saw the janitor looking at her with pleading eyes, she sighed in her heart, so she lowered her head and kept silent, letting Cheng Chazhong reprimand her.

"Dad, it is estimated that there is no place to buy that refreshment at night," Cheng Ruikai excused Gong Mengshu, "It is excusable to buy it so late......"

Cheng Chazhong heard Cheng Ruikai say this, although he was annoyed that Cheng Ruikai was protecting Gong Mengshu in front of Lu Qingqing, but his son always had to save face for him in front of others, so he said to Gong Mengshu: "Quickly bring the things over to Miss Lu." ”

Who knew that Lu Qingqing took the pastry handed over by Gong Mengshu and looked at it, and said in his mouth: "Thank you Master Cheng for sending someone to buy me this snack." But this pastry doesn't taste good when it's cold, and I can't eat it now, so I'd better give it to the next people. As she spoke, she casually rewarded the girl who was serving on the side, and then Shi Shiran walked to the front of the car, and someone had already diligently opened the car door for her. Cheng Chazhong and his aunt and his wife hurriedly followed, and watched Miss Lu get into the car with grace.

Gong Mengshu stood there with a pale face, Cheng Ruikai stared at her for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Mengshu, I'll come to you after I finish sending the guests, you are waiting for me here......" Before he finished speaking, he heard Cheng Chazhong shouting to him: "Ruikai, don't come over to say goodbye to the guests!" Cheng Ruikai had to hurriedly step forward.

Gong Mengshu remained motionless, watched Lu Qingqing pull the car door, and talked to everyone for a while, especially with Cheng Ruikai for a long time, and then asked the coachman to close the car door and leave. Cheng Chazhong saw the guest's car go a long way, and then he returned with everyone satisfied.

Gong Mengshu hurriedly retreated, retreating into the dark shadow under the corridor in the shadow wall by the gate, Cheng Chazhong walked in with Cheng Ruikai, and said as he walked: "Today's things are going well, Miss Lu seems to be very interesting to you, you get along with her well, this family affair will always be of great benefit to your future......"

Cheng Ruikai said "um" slightly, and Cheng Chazhong said again: "But Ruikai, I have to remind you that in front of Miss Lu, don't pay all your attention to your little wife, lest Miss Lu look at it." You're already a little out of place tonight......"

"I know, Dad, don't say it!" Cheng Ruikai replied a little impatiently.

"It's not that my father said you, in the future, you will understand that if the relationship between wife and concubine is uneven, a man will not be able to do great things......" Cheng Chazhong continued to say earnestly, "I eat more salt than you have eaten, in my opinion, the little wife that grandma raised for you seems to be very high-spirited, and it seems that she is reluctant to ask her to serve Miss Lu today, and I have forgotten how our family cultivates her and raises soldiers for a thousand days, isn't it just to use it for a while!" You have to remember that her task in the future is not only to serve you, but also to serve your wife, and if you can't send her away now, what will be the future ......"

Cheng Ruikai was just silent.

Gong Mengshu curled up under the corridor, watching Cheng Chazhong take Cheng Ruikai and his aunt and wives past her in the dark, no one noticed that she was hidden in the darkness under the corridor, she only felt that her already cold body was so cold that she was unconscious. She stood motionless for a long time, when she saw a dark shadow coming back.

"Mengshu...... Meng Shu ......, "Someone was calling her name softly, and it turned out to be Cheng Ruikai who came back to look for her."

Gong Mengshu woke up like a dream, turned around and walked towards the door quickly, she didn't want to listen to Cheng Ruikai's admonition to Cheng Chazhong tonight, she really couldn't bear this, she just wanted to leave Cheng Mansion with chills all over her body right now, she didn't want to stay longer for a moment, she could go anywhere, as long as she didn't face Cheng Ruikai anymore.

Her slender figure came out of the darkness and was immediately spotted by Cheng Ruikai in the distance, and he hurriedly chased after her. Hearing the footsteps behind her, Gong Mengshu began to trot, although she heard Cheng Ruikai's voice behind her getting closer and closer, she didn't even want to turn her head.

Cheng Ruikai was about to catch up with the stubborn Gong Mengshu, but there were also people shouting his name behind his back, but it was the third aunt Tai Peng Wanru who came to pass a message to him, saying that Cheng Chazhong asked him to go to the study immediately to discuss the matter of inviting Lu Qingqing's family to dinner. Cheng Ruikai was delayed for a while, and then ran outside the gate, but Gong Mengshu was no longer there.

"Do you see Miss Gong?" Cheng Ruikai asked the doorman angrily.

"It should be, it should be back to the room, right?" The sleepy-eyed janitor saw Gong Mengshu running out, and he couldn't answer.

"What a waste!" Cheng Ruikai scolded fiercely, and was about to go out to look for it again, but was persuaded to go back to the study by the third and fourth aunts who followed behind him with one arm on one side.
