() Meng Liangjiang went down to the attic with a paper umbrella, went around the small stone bridge and walked straight to the end to the West Corner Gate.

At this moment, it is late at night, and most of the guards who patrol the night are lazy. She came to the corner gate with a light car, got off the leash, and slipped out quietly, not forgetting to cover the corner door before leaving.

The moon outside is dark and windy, and the night is cool and breezy. Meng Liangjiang subconsciously gathered his clothes, and felt more and more that this was the prelude to the coming storm.

Walking straight along the outer wall of the Meng Mansion, the familiar melodious flute sounded again, as if it was deliberately leading her. Following the sound of the flute, I soon came to a large plane tree at the end of the street.

The man was half-lying on a thick branch, holding the jade flute with his slender five fingers and playing it to his lips.

Meng Liangjiang stood under the tree and looked up, and his ears were full of the melodious sound of the flute, and he didn't disturb it for a while.

When the song came, the man playing the flute seemed to notice that there were people around him. The jade flute made a perfect arc at the tips of his slender fingers, and he jumped off the tree and landed steadily in front of Meng Liangjiang.

Meng Liangjiang was not surprised, and saw that the piper was actually the "benefactor" who saved him in Xiyue Tower that day, and smiled slightly: "It is very good, I don't know what this song is called?"

Seeing that the person who came was a girl, the man was stunned for a moment. But seeing that the other party faced it calmly, he no longer had any scruples, so he replied: "This song is nameless, let's call it 'Xiaoyao' for the time being." ”

"Leisurely, leisurely. Meng Liangjiang muttered, and suddenly smiled, "There are people who are respectful of the moon and the moon." Hengyiqin, even not at ease. Xiaoyao is indeed a good name. ”

The man smiled brightly, noncommittal.

Meng Liangjiang then remembered and owed a debt: "Meng's Liangjiang has not thanked Gongzi for saving his life in the past." Dare to ask the son, respect the surname. ”

"Don't dare. The man bowed, "Twilight." ”

Meng Liangjiang bowed his head and said, "Gongzi plays the flute here every night, is there a reason?"

"For no reason. Twilight smiled calmly, as if she wasn't lying.

The two of them were speechless for a while, and the cold wind blew by their sides, setting off a trace of coldness.

Twilight lowered her head, noticed the paper umbrella in Meng Liangjiang's hand, and asked, "Miss Meng brought an umbrella late at night, but where are you going?"

"Tonight the wind is strong, the sky is heavy, and it is afraid that it will rain, because I can't bear the piper to be drenched in the cold rain, so I came to deliver an umbrella. It's also a coincidence that it will be you. Meng Liangjiang smiled and handed the paper umbrella with both hands.

Twilight reached out and took the paper umbrella, stroked the bamboo painted on the surface of the umbrella with her palm, and thanked her again.

"I can ask curiously, where does the son's family live, why did he come here to play overnight?" Meng Liangjiang couldn't suppress the confusion in his heart, and simply asked.

Twilight didn't seem to have seen such an outspoken woman as her, and she didn't shy away from asking anything, not like a girl who was raised in the boudoir, and she blushed instantly when she said something to a strange man.

"Childe is thinking, Liangjiang is different from other daughters?"

Twilight looked up in surprise, and the two looked at each other and smiled. He said, "Miss Meng is different from many women I have seen. ”

"Liang Jiang has been trained by the court since childhood, and his upbringing is not quite the same as that of others. Since I was 12 years old, I have been treating diseases and saving people with my father, and by the age of 16, I have begun to provide free medical treatment on my own. Honestly, if everything is strictly guarded by men and women, isn't everything you have learned in vain?" Meng Liangjiang is from Fei Fu every word, and his bright eyes favor it, which is even more convincing.

Twilight was just thinking about it, and she didn't intend to ask. But she answered, and she answered so frankly, he was so open

, it seems a little less open-minded.

"It's just a wanderer, and a few days ago I passed through Tongzhou City, so I planned to rest for two days and leave. Twilight said.

Meng Liangjiang was silent for a while, as if he was considering the credibility of his words.

"It's late at night, and the girl and I are alone here, and if we are seen, we will gossip. Even though the girl didn't care, those foul words were really unbearable. Twilight snorted slightly, and raised the folding umbrella in her hand, "I'll take the umbrella, thank you girl." If you see you another day, let's return it to the girl. ”

Meng Liangjiang bowed his head and returned when he was back and forth. After walking more than ten steps, she turned around, and there was no twilight behind her, and she couldn't help but turn into the West Corner Gate a little lonely.

In the second half of the night, it rained, and the raindrops fell on the eaves, disturbing people.

Meng Liangjiang couldn't sleep, so he left a candle for lighting, and a cloak half-leaned against the window lattice. Stretching out his hand, the sleeves of his bedgown slid under his arm, revealing a piece of jade white wrist, and the raindrops fell on his skin, bringing out a piece of coolness.

Suddenly hearing a murmur outside, Meng Liangjiang turned his head and saw Huanyue lying on the small couch under the faint yellow candle flame, the quilt slid to his waist, and he shivered in his sleep.

Meng Liangjiang put on his cloak and got up, went to the small couch to fold the quilt for Huanyue, and returned to the inner room with the lamp.

Autumn is rainy, this is just autumn, but the rain has been falling for several days, the road is wet, and there are few pedestrians on the street.

After a few days of rain, the sound of the flute disappeared for a few days, and the person did not appear again. Meng Liangjiang was bored, so he simply summarized the medical records he had written in recent years, so that he would not be very boring.

It was just sunny that day, and a girl in the front yard came to report, saying that the son of the Ma family came to visit, and Master Meng invited the young lady to go to the front hall to meet the guests.

Meng Liangjiang never wanted to see Ma Anyan, so he simply used his father as an excuse to grounded him, and refuted it mercilessly. Who knew that after a while, Master Meng actually came to the attic in person.

At this time, Meng Liangjiang had to put down his pen, bowed, and called: "Father." ”

"Do you still have my father in your eyes?" Master Meng was furious.

Meng Liangjiang pretended to be innocent and said, "Why did my father say this? The daughter naturally respects her father very much. ”

Master Meng snorted coldly and sat on the stool. Huanyue served a cup of hot tea in time, and then stepped aside, not daring to touch the mold.

"I won't care about the matter of Xiyue Tower, right now Ma Gongzi is in the front hall, so the guests have waited for a long time. You quickly pack up your makeup and hurry up to the front hall. ”

"I'm not going. Meng Liangjiang bluntly refused.

"What did you say?" said Master Meng was furious.

The man was uneasy, but the father knew that he let his daughter pass, did he take his daughter to heart? Meng Liangjiang had an indescribable loss in his eyes.

Master Meng slapped the table and became angry, and the two fathers and daughters pointed to Mai Mang, and no one refused to give in for a while.

Huanyue saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. She knew the young lady's temperament very well, but she didn't dare to touch the old man's scales, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do anything.

Suddenly, Meng Liangjiang opened his mouth: "I can listen to my father's words and deal with Nama Anyan, but my father must lift my grounding from now on, and no matter where I go, I am not allowed to interfere." ”

Master Meng was angry, but he also knew that the Ma family could not be offended, and he could only respond to it first, and he had to deal with this matter first.

Huanyue cleaned up Meng Liangjiang's makeup, picked out a light-colored dress to change into, and then went to the front hall.

Ma Anyan had been waiting in the front hall for a long time, after Master Meng came out of Liangjiang's attic

I went back to the front hall to talk to him and drink tea. Not long after, Meng Liangjiang came late and saw his father in the hall.

"Miss Meng. Seeing the beautiful woman coming, Ma Anyan hurriedly put down the teacup and stepped forward, and Meng Liangjiang also returned the salute.

"The chrysanthemums in the suburbs of the west of the city are in full bloom, and they are very delicate and beautiful. It happened to be sunny today, I don't know if An Yan has this honor, please Miss go and have a look. After that, Ma Anyan bowed his hand, and his appearance was very polite.

Meng Liangjiang put his hands on his chest, turned around when he heard the words, and smiled slightly: "Okay." ”

She replied briskly, not only Ma Anyan was taken aback, but even Master Meng was also surprised. Huanyue's eyes turned, and he instantly understood, but he didn't say anything.

"Father, if the father has no other instructions, and the daughter wants to go out for a walk, I wonder if the father can agree?" Meng Liangjiang faced Master Meng, his voice was shallow, and he seemed to be a lady in the demeanor of everyone.

Master Meng's hand trembled, and the hot tea in the cup overflowed and splashed on the back of his hand, and was hurriedly placed on the table. Seeing Ma Anyan coming over, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Meng Liangjiang only went out with Huanyue alone, and went out of Meng's Mansion with Ma Anyan. There was a carriage from Mafu parked outside, and Ma Anyan asked Meng Liangjiang to get on the car, but she didn't move.

Huanyue stopped in front and said, "Ma Gongzi, forgive me, my young lady is a daughter who has not left the cabinet, and she openly rides in the same car with Ma Gongzi, and it will be criticized if it is passed out." ”

Ma Anyan thought about it and felt that it was not unreasonable, and was about to send someone back to find another chariot, Huanyue said again: "Don't bother Ma Gongzi, the chariot has been prepared in the house." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard the sound of wheels turning. Everyone followed the prestige, and there was the name of Mengfu on the chariot, so they knew that it was arranged in advance by Huanyue.

Ma Anyan had no reason to stop it, he just watched Huanyue put Meng Liangjiang on the chariot of Mengfu, and then he boarded his own chariot. The two chariots drove one after the other in the direction of the city gate.

Meng Liangjiang sat calmly in the car, but Huanyue was sitting on pins and needles, lifting the curtain from time to time and looking out. But seeing that the chariot had already gone up to the main street and wanted to go out of the city gate, he couldn't help it, so he asked: "Doesn't the young lady like Ma Gongzi, why is she willing to agree to go to the west of the city with him to enjoy chrysanthemums?"

Meng Liangjiang closed his eyes and smiled, and smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said: "Do you think that if I don't agree to him, I won't make a decision? Father will not allow me to offend Ma Anyan, rather than let Ma Anyan do other things, it is better to push the boat with the water." I want to see what tricks this Ma Anyan wants to play. ”

"But it is better to be out of the city than to be in the house, if so, if he has bad intentions...... Miss. "Huanyue's heart hangs in the air, and he is always uneasy.

Meng Liangjiang opened his eyes, sat up straight and looked at the street outside, and said: "Although the Meng family is not more powerful than the Ma family, it is also a family with a head and a face, and Ma Anyan doesn't dare to be too presumptuous." Besides, he has a good plan, I have a wall ladder, I'm afraid he will do something!"

You don't have to be stuffy in the house, it's still lively outside. The chariot went out of the city, and although there were many fewer pedestrians on the two lanes, the air was fresh and tight, and she couldn't help but be greedy for two more mouthfuls.

"Today's weather is good, after the baptism of rain, I think the autumn chrysanthemum blooms better. Meng Liangjiang put down the curtain, and when he turned around, he saw that Huanyue still looked worried, so he reached out to hold her hand and comforted, "Don't worry! ”

Hearing Meng Liangjiang say this, Huanyue relaxed a little. Besides, even if she can't put her mind at ease, she is now out of the city with the Ma family's chariot, and there is no reason to turn around halfway.
