Chapter 336: Face to face
Several people discussed from the time of holding the lamp to the beginning of Hai, and decided to dig a horizontal tunnel about a mile outside the city wall according to what Xuanhui said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn order to hide people's eyes, the tunnel was first excavated from the inside of the city, and then turned after the city wall.
As for Zhang Jun's surprise attack, he had to wait until Xu Sheng woke up on the second day before making a decision.
Jingyun opened the curtain to send Meng Ye and the others out, but found that Mrs. Meng, mother and daughter were standing under the eaves of the porch outside the door. Zhang Jun hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and then took his leave of the Guogong Mansion.
Mrs. Meng looked at her son with an angry face, and the family of four stood so embarrassed.
Seeing this, Jingyun hurriedly smiled and said: "Mrs. Meng and Third Miss may not have seen you for a long time, the slave maid ordered someone to prepare tea in the west wing, and your family went over to talk affectionately!" She said as she pushed them over.
When he arrived at the West Wing, Meng Tingfang quietly pulled Meng Shiyi's sleeve, glanced at Mrs. Meng, and whispered: "Mother heard what you said just now...... It's angry when you look at it, but it's actually scared, brother, you just admit your mistake......"
Meng Shiyi flicked her sleeves and said, "What's wrong with me?" Now that the situation in Jinling City is so urgent, for the sake of the people in the city, I shouldn't hide behind the city wall and watch the enemy stretch out his claws! ”
With a "snap", Mrs. Meng slapped him in the face. "You kneel for me!" She was angry and crying, and her voice was shaking.
Meng Shiyi glanced at his father and saw that he was also blushing, so he had to reluctantly kneel down.
"I was pregnant in October, and I was trying to give birth to you, I was expecting you to give me a pension and send me to the end, but I didn't think that you hadn't married your own son and never continued the incense for the Meng family, so you were in a hurry to go to the battlefield to die!" Mrs. Meng was about to be extremely sad, and tears kept falling down her eyes. It was only because he was in Xuanhui's courtyard that he didn't dare to alarm her, so he lowered his voice and cried.
Meng Shiyi knelt on the ground and argued: "Mother! I'm not going to die! I am loyal to my country! ”
Meng Ye slapped the table and said angrily: "What kind of loyalty are you?" Don't say 5,000 people, have you brought a team of 100 people or more? Scholars mislead the country, that's what you're talking about! Do you think that you are a loyal and righteous person now? The courage of the horseman! ”
The bold words of the hot-blooded young man were accused by his parents of being "disloyal and unfilial", and Meng Shiyi felt very aggrieved.
Meng Ye saw that he was going to say more, his eyes widened, and then he scolded: "Do you think you can win as soon as you go?" General Xu has been fighting with Cheng Guogong for so many years, hasn't he still suffered a loss in the hands of Wang Yiming? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't win the war, or even if you were defeated and captured? How many of the people you have taken with you should have died because of your frivolity? ”
"It doesn't matter if you lose your life, Jinling City now has a total of 30,000 soldiers to defend the city, and if you lose, you will lose 5,000 people, your father and I can't help you with this!"
Meng Shiyi was a little depressed when she was said, kneeling on the ground and drooping her head.
"In the current situation, of course, it is necessary to retreat from the enemy with a strange plan, but it is even more undesirable to rush forward! Hengzhi has been sticking to the city, and he can always wait for the day when the prince and the master come back. If you act rashly, isn't it equivalent to giving up Jinling City? I thought that you had a fame and practiced outside for two years, so you should be more stable, but I didn't expect you to be so frivolous! It's really a disappointment to the prince's intention to transfer you back! ”
Meng Ye's words became heavier and heavier, making Mrs. Meng, who had always felt sorry for her son, unbearable. She persuaded him, "He's not even twenty yet!" After a few days, I married my daughter-in-law and gave birth to a child, so I will naturally become stable......"
Meng Shiyi thought of Pei Shuangxi, the candidate discussed by her parents, and her heart was even more awkward, and her dissatisfied words immediately rushed out: "To marry a wife, you have to marry a virtuous and virtuous person, some people are just powerful relatives with families, and they have a good-looking face, can they be a virtuous helper?" You say I'm not stable, and I don't have a better vision than me! ”
When Meng Ye heard this, he became even more angry. "Little brute, you explain it to me! Who has a competent relative? Whose face is good-looking? ”
"The daughter of the fifth master of the Pei family! It's with my sister every day! Maybe I just want to get married, so I pull my sister every day and don't let go......"
When Meng Ye heard that he dared to talk nonsense in the princess's courtyard, talking about Pei Shuangxi, he was anxious and angry, and slapped Meng Shiyi in the face.
"Brute! A good daughter who is innocent, where is it your turn to get a turbid thing like you! Hurry up and get out of here, dig a tunnel for me tomorrow, and if you talk about this mess, you will give me to kneel in the ancestral hall for half a year! ”
Meng Shiyi was slapped twice in one night, and she has never suffered such grievances since she was born. Although he was dissatisfied, he was afraid of his father's majesty, and regretted that he had not distinguished the place and occasion when he had just spoken, so he had to promise that he should be, get up and salute his parents, and then go out.
Out of the door of the west wing, Meng Shiyi dusted off the ashes on her outer robe, and was about to go out of the main courtyard, but found a girl standing in front of her, with two little maids behind her.
"Pei, Miss Pei......" Meng Shiyi was very empty in her heart, and sure enough, she was unkind behind her back, and she was going to be arrested if she said it.
"Meng Gongzi." Pei Shuangxi squatted and blessed himself, but he stood still and didn't move.
Meng Shiyi was extremely embarrassed, and when she saw that she was holding a burden in her hand, she asked without words: "It's so late, where is Miss Pei going?" ”
"I had nothing to do in the Guogong Mansion, made a few children's clothes, and sent two to the princess, these are for the princess."
Meng Shiyi wanted to leave, but Pei Shuangxi didn't mean to move at all, and he was embarrassed to say "borrowed", so he had to say sarcastically: "Miss Pei is really a diligent person, and she made so many clothes in a short time......
Pei Shuangxi smiled: "I have nothing but a good-looking face." If I don't be diligent and stammering my right-hand relatives, won't I be trampled into the mud? Meng Gongzi, do you think this is the reason? ”
The more brisk her tone was, the more embarrassed Meng Shiyi became. He only felt that his face was hot, and he didn't know if it was the credit of the two slaps rewarded by Fang Cai's parents, or the effect of Pei Shuangxi's words.
"I have no intention of embarrassing Meng Gongzi," Pei Shuangxi put away the smile on his face and said with a straight face, "But I don't know why I am looked down on by you like this." I am confident that my parents and sister-in-law have never thought of getting married to your family, and Tingfang and I often joke together because of our similar tempers. If these can also be misunderstood by Meng Gongzi, then I don't think it should be my problem. ”
"A daughter's family, these words should not have been said by me. But since Meng Gongzi has said it to such an extent, then I will give up my face and tell you plainly, I Pei Shuangxi didn't have it before, I don't want it now, and I don't want to marry it in the future...... Marry you. Are you relieved? ”
The wind moved and said
Meng Shiyi's second shortcoming......
