Chapter 48 The mountain rain is coming, and the building will fall
However, as soon as Gong Mengshu took Huang Qilun into the house, he was almost beaten out of the door by his father Gong Hongwen with a stick! It turned out that long before they entered the door, the Cheng family sent someone to report to the Gong family last night, and Gong Hongwen was so angry that he didn't spurt blood in one breath.
"Get out of here! Just because I never gave birth to your daughter!" Gong Hongwen roared angrily, snatching the small burden from Gong Mengshu's hand and throwing it out of the door. Gong Mengshu saw that her father was furious, she stood quietly for a while, and then beckoned Huang Qilun to step forward.
Gong Mengshu said to Huang Qilun: "This is my father, it seems that he does not welcome me back." You wait for me for a while, and I'll kowtow to him a few times and then follow you. Regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, he knelt down and began to kowtow to Gong Hongwen. Huang Qilun saw Gong Mengshu kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly bent down and kowtowed to Gong Hongwen.
"Who are you, hurry up! I don't know you, don't worship blindly!" Gong Hongwen saw Huang Qilun worshipping indiscriminately, and he was even more angry, and roared angrily: "You toad wants to eat swan meat, my daughter definitely can't follow you!"
When Huang Qilun saw Gong Hongwen say this, he couldn't help but stop kowtowing, he looked at Gong Mengshu with an embarrassed face.
Gong Mengshu said: "Huang Qilun, you don't care what my father says, let's leave after kowtowing!" Huang Qilun hurriedly responded, and knocked his head again. Gong Hongwen was confused by the two people in front of him, and he stomped his feet angrily, shouting loudly that Gong Mengshu's mother came out to solve the dilemma.
Wu Peisi had already seen this scene by the door. She looked at her stubborn daughter and couldn't help but sigh. In fact, when Gong Mengshu first proposed to leave the Cheng family that day, she knew that Gong Mengshu would have to take this step sooner or later. So she wasn't surprised to see Gong Mengshu come back today. The only thing that surprised her was that Gong Mengshu actually brought a man back, and she kept saying that Huang Qilun would not marry.
Wu Peisi looked at Gong Mengshu's sunken cheeks and red and swollen eyes, and knew in his heart that this child was suffering from love, and the current Huang Qilun should just be a straw that Gong Mengshu grabbed indiscriminately, thinking of this, Wu Peisi couldn't help but feel distressed for Gong Mengshu. She walked up and pulled up Gong Mengshu, then dragged her aside, and said in a low voice: "Child, I have no objection to you insisting on coming back from the Cheng family, but you can't just find a man and decide your life's events!"
"Huang Qilun didn't look for me randomly," Gong Mengshu replied to his mother, "He promised me that I would only be good to me in the future, so I am willing to follow him-"
"Men are fickle, how can what they say now be counted in the future?" Wu Peisi persuaded Gong Mengshu bitterly, "You can't just deal with yourself just because you can't get Cheng Ruikai......
"Mother, you remember two points, the first is that from now on, don't look in front of Ruikai in front of me; second, Huang Qilun is the person I want to marry in the future, please don't use the word general, okay?" Gong Mengshu stared at his mother aggressively.
Wu Peisi saw that Gong Mengshu's demeanor and expression had lost her normality, and she was afraid that something would happen to her, so she didn't dare to force her again, so she had to reluctantly swallow this worry back into her stomach for the time being. Since Gong Mengshu's attitude was so resolute, Wu Peisi asked Huang Qilun to go back first, so that both sides could think clearly before making a decision.
But Gong Mengshu stopped Huang Qilun when he was about to walk out of the door: "Qilun, if you have the heart to marry me, please let the matchmaker come to the door as soon as possible to propose, I will wait for you-"
"Really, really, okay, okay——" Huang Qilun was so tormented by this great happy event that he almost couldn't walk, and staggered out of the door, riding back this way was like stepping on the clouds, feeling like he was floating.
Gong Mengshu took it upon himself to set a lifelong event, Gong Hongwen was furious and refused to forgive Gong Mengshu, and sneered: "Before the man speaks, you ask people to marry you, are you ashamed? The face of the Gong family has made you lose all your face today!"
Wu Peisi saw Gong Hongwen chattering, so he covered his face and cried and scolded: "Do you know the bitterness in the heart of Mengshu, this child? If you are not afraid that she will not want to make trouble, you can refuse her request-" After finishing speaking, sadness came from it, and she cried heartbroken.
Gong Hongwen was said by Wu Peisi, and really saw that Gong Mengshu's eyes were empty, his eyes were straight, his lips were pale, and he was as miserable as a lonely ghost in broad daylight, so he immediately stopped scolding and talking nonsense.
Gong Mengshu fell ill again on the first night he returned home. Unlike the illness that day in the Cheng family, this time she only felt chills all over her body. Wu Peisi hugged Gong Mengshu, who was as cold as a dead corpse in the middle of the night, and was so frightened that she cried into tears: "My hard-working son, don't scare your mother like this, if you have any difficulties or grievances, you tell your mother, don't hold back, hold on, ah?
Gong Mengshu's face was dead white, and he struggled to open his mouth to gasp like a fish on the verge of death. It was almost dawn when she struggled to say to her mother, "Mother...... I...... I'm not sick...... It's just in my heart...... Heart...... It hurts......"
Wu Peisi couldn't hold back any longer, hugged Gong Mengshu and cried bitterly, muttering in her mouth: "Mother knows, mother knows that you are bitter in your heart, the child is ......" Gong Mengshu hugged her mother weakly, buried her tear-stained face in her mother's warm arms, and finally cried out in a dumb voice: "Mother ......" Tears kept flowing down her cheeks, and even her mouth was bitter.
Within two days, Huang Qilun's family really invited a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage. Gong Hongwen and Wu Peisi looked at each other, not knowing whether to agree or not. Wu Peisi asked Gong Mengshu again what she meant, and wanted her to think carefully again. Gong Mengshu, who had just improved a little, pondered for a moment and nodded.
Wu Peisi asked, "Don't you regret it?"
"Anyway, I have to get married, and I'm afraid I'll regret it even more if I find someone else, so it's better to find someone familiar. Gong Mengshu leaned on the head of the bed, covered with an old and thin quilt, and said weakly, with no light in his gloomy eyes.
"Then I'll let your father promise someone!" Wu Peisi said to Gong Mengshu. Gong Mengshu remained motionless and did not respond again. Wu Peisi sighed, gently exited the room, and took the door to Gong Mengshu.
Because Huang Qilun has a deep affection for Gong Mengshu, under his repeated urging, the happy day of him and Gong Mengshu is set for half a month later. Although the Huang family has only one widowed mother in charge, the dowry money and banquet are all given just right, a little bit, but not a little bit.
Wu Peisi originally thought that this mother-in-law was very shrewd and capable, but after thinking about it, she began to worry that Gong Mengshu would marry in the past, and such a delicate mother-in-law would suffer. Everything was chaotic in his heart, but he also forgot the anger in Wu's heart when he sneered on the side.
When writing the invitation, Wu Peisi asked Gong Hongwen's opinion on whether to send a wedding card to the Cheng family, Gong Hongwen thought about it, although he knew that no one from the Cheng family should come, but he still wrote two invitations to the Cheng family, one for Cheng Chazhong and one for Cheng Molin. It was polite to give it to Cheng Chazhong, and it was given to Cheng Molin because she had a good relationship with Gong Mengshu. As for whether to send an invitation to Cheng Ruikai, Gong Hongwen and Wu Peisi both tacitly agreed not to mention it.
Gong Hongwen had a heart, afraid of extraneous branches, so the invitation to the Cheng family was sent out by Gong Mengshu in person three days before his wedding. When Gong Hongwen came back from Cheng's house to send the post, Gong Hongwen's old face was flushed, and when Wu Peisi asked, he just sighed and refused to say more. Seeing this, Wu Peisi knew that Gong Hongwen must have been ridiculed by Cheng Chazhong, although she was angry in her heart, but thinking about it, Mengshu's child was young and ignorant, and the Cheng family had carefully cultivated it for a long time, but she actually lived up to the expectations of the Cheng family without authorization, and it was normal for the Cheng family to have an ugly outlet.
Gong Mengshu has long been unable to take into account anyone's feelings, and she has been in a daze every day in the few days she has been waiting for her to get married. In fact, she was also a little dazed when she married Huang Qilun so soon. I can't talk about regret or regret, because the numb heart can't stir up any ripples for a long time. However, she has always been a responsible child, and she doesn't want to be sorry for Huang Qilun because of this, because even if she is with Huang Qilun, it is impossible to love and love Cheng Ruikai as heartily and unforgettable, but since it is the path she has chosen, even if she kneels in the future, she must insist on climbing.
For Gong Mengshu, since she has decided to marry Huang Qilun, she will definitely have no second thoughts about Huang Qilun in the future.
The body was just a little better, and it was already the day before the wedding. Gong Mengshu was stopped in the boudoir by her mother Wu Peisi and the tailor who made the clothes, and she was anxious to let her try on the wedding dress to see if it fits. Gong Mengshu was originally indifferent to everything, and he had no interest in the dowry and wedding dress, but he couldn't stand the picking up of his mother and the tailor, so he had to put on the whole set of phoenix crowns with great effort with their help. The phoenix crown was so heavy that Gong Mengshu could barely lift his head. The hem of her dress was also long, and she was like a puppet, and she was pulled by the tailor and felt dizzy.
Although the big ceremony will be performed tomorrow, the Gong family has already come to help many relatives, and there is a lot of laughter and noise outside, sometimes mixed with silk and bamboo singing and suona playing, which is already full of festive atmosphere to do happy events.
Gong Mengshu was a little distracted when she heard it, and then looked at the red wedding dress on her body that it was eye-catching, and only at this time did she suddenly be shocked, it turned out that she was really going to get married.
"Well, that's suitable!" her mother, Wu Peisi, and the tailor gathered around her, praising her wedding dress. The tailor was even more flattering: "Miss Gong is good-looking and has a good temperament, then the son of the Huang family is really blessed in his previous life, so he has such a good marriage......
Wu Peisi looked at Gong Mengshu, who looked extremely petite and thin under the heavy phoenix crown and xiaxia veil, her heart was just sour, both happy and sad, and she just smiled with tears in her eyes for a while, and kept rubbing her eyes with her fingers. Gong Mengshu sensed her mother's reluctance, she turned her head with great difficulty, and whispered to her mother: "Mother, don't be sad, it's not a ...... of life and death."
As soon as the words fell, I heard an uproar in the outer courtyard, and the noisy suona suddenly stopped, and then a strange rough voice was shouting, and there were messy footsteps everywhere, and from time to time there were exclamations and screams, like the sound of a large group of people driving into the yard. The three women in the room looked at each other, unaware of what was happening.
Gong Mengshu listened attentively, and vaguely discerned the crisp sound of horses' hooves from far and near in the messy sound, as if there was also the exclamation and whispering of his father Gong Hongwen, but after a while, there were footsteps in riding boots walking towards Gong Mengshu's house step by step.
Gong Mengshu stared at his mother, and the hearts of the two began to tug. The sound of heavy, metallic footsteps drew closer and closer, and finally reached the door.
Wu Peisi walked to the door with bated breath, wanting to check what was going on, but the thin wooden door made a loud bang at this time, and was violently kicked open without warning, and the second young master of the Cheng family, Cheng Ruikai, who was dressed in military uniform and dusty, appeared at the door!
