Chapter 36 A
On the second day of the wedding, Cheng Zhengyishan got up early and went to Zhenxi Wangfu to have breakfast with the old prince. Yishan first gave tea to his grandfather, personally helped him sit on the seat, the old man smiled, and kept praising Yishan for knowing how to be polite and informative, and asked Cheng Zheng to cherish it, and Le Yishan couldn't close his mouth.
Yuanxin whispered to Menghan, "Learn, learn." Menghan kicked at Yuanxin, and Yuanxin grinned in pain and didn't dare to scream out because of the occasion.
Yishan saw a strange woman standing next to Yuanxin, behaving intimately, and couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?" ”
Yu An replied with a smile, "This is my second brother's girlfriend and my future second sister-in-law." After finishing speaking, everyone glared at her, and she said innocently: "I'm not wrong, yesterday the second brother also said how their wedding will be in the future." ”
Cheng Zheng coughed lightly, "Breakfast is ready, take a seat." "Yuanxin's messy relationship is really shameless to say, two people are in and out all day long, Qingqing and I are in front of others, and it is really embarrassing for outsiders to ask. I understood it and said no more.
At the dinner table, Meng Han leaned on Yuanxin's ear and whispered, "You don't think your princess's clothes are familiar?" ”
Yuanxin looked up at Yishan's scarlet gold-rimmed brocade robe, shook his head, and Menghan said again, "Your sachet yesterday seems to be this kind of fabric, and the patterns are the same." ”
Yuanxin said "oh", disapproving, Menghan quipped, "Your sachet won't be given to you by your sister-in-law, this uncle-sister-in-law relationship is extraordinary." ”
Yuanxin glared at her, and didn't dare to say anything out loud at the dinner table. The old man asked, "What are you two muttering?" ”
Yuanxin Menghan shook his head again and again, "No, it's nothing." ”
According to the custom, the bride had to go back to the door the next day after the wedding, and after sitting for a while after dinner, Cheng Zheng accompanied Yishan into the palace. In the afternoon, Menghan still went to Tingxuan, since Menghan asked Zhu Zhilai for a leave in the name of being summoned by the emperor, Zhu's shopkeeper also made great efforts to publicize that this is the person who was summoned by the emperor. Recently, it has maintained a high passenger flow, which has made Zhu Zhilai and Menghan both happy.
After coming out of Huitingxuan, Yuanxin said to Menghan, "The apricots in the back mountain are ripe, shall we go pick apricots?" ”
"Apricot picking? Okay," Menghan is a hundred willing, "I haven't been to the fruit forest in my life or my previous life." ”
Yuanxin was quite interested, "Let's go, Lord will show you insight." ”
Meng Han laughed at him when he saw his happiness, "I said uncle, you can't run out of money in your family, how can you do this thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs?" ”
"To borrow a word from you, what do you know, this is called understanding the people's feelings." Every time Menghan explained modern things to Yuanxin, he explained two or three times If he still doesn't understand, Menghan decisively disdainfully threw out a sentence, what do you know, this time it was actually used by Yuanxin to prevaricate Menghan.
Menghan rolled her eyes but saw that Yuanxin was secretly having fun alone, "Observe your uncle's people's feelings." Proud of me, as for being so happy? Your sense of accomplishment will come a little too easily. ”
"No, I just remember that when I was a child, I went to the back mountain with a few children to steal apricots, and we stole more than anyone, and we picked them for more than an hour, and took off half of the garden, and then we squatted in the woods one by one to count who had more. When we were counting, the master brought a group of people, and when we ran, we didn't forget to hold our apricots, saying that whoever took back more was a hero, but no one went back, and they were all arrested. Yuanxin said with a smile that couldn't be concealed at the corner of his mouth.
Unexpectedly, Yuanxin was so naughty when he was a child, and Menghan also felt funny, "Hahaha, you are so bad for you, what about later?" Did the master of the forest beat you up? ”
"No, he didn't beat us, he just asked us whose children we were, and a circle of people pointed to me and said that it was from the Zhenxi Palace, and then the man took me to the house, and my father paid them a sum of money and sent them away, and then, you can imagine how miserable my fate was."
Menghan counted him, "You deserve it, it's really not a loss to you, it's not better than anything, stealing apricots compared to others, and picking half of someone's garden." ”
Yuanxin felt something, "I did a lot of interesting things when I was a child, and now I think about it, I really miss it, do you think I'm old, why do I always remember the past?" ”
Meng Han patted Yuanxin's shoulder boldly, "I'm not old yet, what are you old, this beauty is in her youth, full of vitality and high spirits." Let's go, let's go, pick apricots! ”
As soon as the two of them got out of the city gate, they didn't even see the shadow of the back mountain, and they saw a group of ruffians surrounding Yuanxin and Menghan from all sides, this group of people got closer and closer, Yuanxin protected Menghan and retreated, and he accidentally strayed into the trap and was caught in the net and hung in the air. ”
Yuanxin shouted at them, "What are you going to do? ”
One of the leaders said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you." Someone pays to arrest you, but we just give you money. ”
Meng Han shouted decisively, "I'll give you twice the money, let us go quickly!" ”
"Okay, get the money."
Meng Han touched the silver on his body, and stretched out his hand to Yuanxin, "Where's the money?" ”
Yuanxin said helplessly, "I didn't bring any money." ”
Meng Han didn't come out, "I said how virtuous are the people in your family, and they don't bring out the money in the family to show off." ”
The thugs at the bottom shouted, "Where's the money? Is there any? ”
Meng Han smiled and took out the way when he cheated back then, "Brothers, otherwise, you let me down first and then go home with us, I have money in my family, and I will definitely not give it to you less." ”
The thugs started laughing, "Go home? Hehe, you are a fool for us, and I went back to your territory with you, do you have the right to talk to our brothers? ”
Menghan was speechless, I was telling the truth this time. Yuanxin comforted her, "It's okay, they all said they didn't kill us." ”
The chief said, "Bring the sacks, put them in, and we will have wine and meat tonight." ”
The thugs applauded, and after putting them down, they held them down with all their hands and feet, ready to tie their hands and feet and stuff them into the sack. At this time, several flying knives were shot, the knives were in the throat, and several people who were close to Menghan Yuanxin were all killed, and the others were so frightened that they fled in all directions, Menghan had never experienced this kind of murder scene, and he saw someone killed at such a close distance, in case the flying knives missed, Menghan thought that he would not feel a cold sweat, and he would have nightmares tonight.
Yuanxin looked in the direction where the flying knife came, and a familiar figure flashed between them, Yuanxin didn't think much about it, pulled the net on his body a few times, and chased after him with light skills. Menghan was thrown down and shouted in horror, "Yuanxin, Yuanxin, where are you going?" ”
Yuanxin chased the distance of about half a mile, and shouted from behind, "Ah Yin! The woman's body froze for a moment and continued to walk.
"Ah Yin, I know it's you. Even if I haven't seen you for many years, I can still recognize you at a glance, and you are the one who brought me the list of Reigakukan. ”
The woman turned around and said coldly, "My name is Yingxun." ”
Yuanxin smiled with relief, and his affectionate voice seemed to come out of the bottom of his heart, "I knew it was you." ”
Ying Xun didn't have any expression, as if this sentence was not said to her, and turned to leave, but Yuanxin stopped her, "Why are you here?" Are you still following Menghan? ”
Ying Xun swept his eyes, "No." I'm running errands nearby, and I've heard from my men that you're stuck here, so you're just passing by. Is it over? Yingxun was completely narrating a business matter, and there was a lot of impatience in his words.
"Ahh Yuanxin had a hard time adapting to Yingxun's indifference.
"Call me Yingxun, I hate the past qiē." There was a hint of anger in Yingxun's words.
"Is that me, too?"
"Including you!" Yingxun's words are decisive and resolute, leaving no room for error.
Yuanxin stayed in place until Yingxun walked away, and Yuanxin shouted at her, "Yingxun, thank you today." ”
Ying Xun didn't appreciate it at all, "Come and see your little lady." ”
Yuanxin then remembered to leave Menghan behind, and went back to find her, Menghan had already chased after Yuanxin in the direction he left, and ran over to hug him after seeing Yuanxin, "Where have you been, do you know that I am so afraid, those people died in front of my eyes, and I have never seen murder." ”
Yuanxin patted her on the back and comforted, "It's okay, it's all over." ”
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's good to steal other people's apricots, and you'll be punished."
"Okay, it's all my fault, we'll never come back again." Yuanxin helped Menghan wipe his tears, and didn't forget to make fun of him, "It's such an adult, you're still crying, look at the fat powder on your face." ”
"That's your cosmetics are not waterproof!" Meng Han argued, snorting and laughing, the terrifying scene just now still lingered, Meng Han said anxiously, "Who wants to arrest us, are we being targeted?" I haven't messed with anyone this time. ”
Yuanxin shook his head, "I don't know, the capital is already mixed, it's not that you can protect yourself without messing with anyone." ”
"What then?"
"It's okay, you don't want to go out alone in the future, if I'm not there, you can bring a few people from the house."
Meng Han frowned, "Isn't that troublesome?" ”
Yuanxin nodded her head, "I'm afraid of trouble and don't even want my life?" ”
In the evening, Jin Feng reported Yingfeng's movements to Cheng Zheng: he just took a batch of official silver allocated by the imperial court out of the city, and he also took the official road, and handed it over to the local officials when he left Beijing, and he couldn't see anything abnormal. ”
Cheng Zheng asked, "Just a batch of official silver?" Then why did he prefer to escort at night? ”
"This subordinate doesn't know, it may be that there are many people and miscellaneous eyes during the day, and it will inevitably cause more trouble when he is looked at by the horse thief."
"What about Mingyue Xuan? If he makes a big move, he will definitely discuss it with the second prince first. ”
Jin Feng replied, "One qiē is normal. ”
Cheng Zheng smiled dumbly, "Could it be that this guy Yingfeng intends to tease me?" It shouldn't be that simple, you go first. ”
"The subordinates retired." Jin Feng covered the door and went out.
At night, Menghan dreamed that she was hanging from a tree, and someone kept throwing knives at her, and Menghan's body was full of holes, like a target, densely pierced with blades, blood flowing, and scarlet. Meng Han looked up and saw Yuan Xin standing in front of him, smiling innocently and showing his neat teeth, as if admiring Meng Han being stabbed by a knife.
Menghan wanted to scream and ask Yuanxin for help, but he couldn't open his mouth with all his strength, and his hands and feet couldn't move as if he was being pressed. Menghan cried loudly, crying hysterically for help in the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't cry or shed tears. She was in pain, she was afraid of her, but she couldn't express it, Yuanxin was still smiling, and the knives were still flying over one by one.
When Meng Han exhausted her last strength and decided to give up, she closed her eyes in despair and waited for death, but saw Yuanxin turn into a fierce beast and bite her, Meng Han screamed and woke up in fright. Her clothes were soaked, her hair was covered with sweat, and she looked around in fear before she realized that she was dreaming. Meng Han gasped for breath, Yuliu rushed over when he heard the sound, and lit a candle before Meng Han calmed down a little.
"The girl is having a nightmare, let's drink some water." Yuliu was just about to pour water, Menghan jumped off the bed and held Yuliu's hand tightly, "I'm going to find Yuanxin, take me, take me!" ”
Yuliu hesitated, "It's so late, it's not good." "Although everyone in the house knows your relationship, after all, you are not married, and going to a man's room in the middle of the night is inevitably immoral.
Menghan was anxious, "What's wrong, I said I'll go!" Come on! Menghan has never had any class concept in his mind, and he has not regarded Yuliu as a subordinate to call and drink, it is rare to see Menghan so resolute, Yuliu had to agree.
At this moment, Yuanxin did not sleep peacefully in the room, and the scene during the day left him not with fright, but with memories of him and Ah Yin. He sat quietly on the roof, and the bright moonlight sprinkled delicately on him, gentle and moving. That year, Yuanxin was still a child, and he waited for half an hour at the back door of Su's house with the scallion pancakes that had just come out of the pot. Yuanxin was sad, not because he had waited for a long time, but because the scallion pancakes had completely cooled.
Ah Yin saw Yuanxin's disappointed expression and said apologetically, "You must have waited for a long time, my aunt asked me to cook porridge for my sister, and I can't leave." ”
Yuanxin smiled innocently, "It's okay, I'm willing to wait for you, and I'm willing to wait as long as I want." But the scallion pancakes are already cold, so I'll buy you a hot one. ”
"No, the scallion pancakes bought by Brother Yuanxin are the most delicious in the world, even if they are cold, they are just as delicious." Ah Yin took the paper bag in Yuanxin's hand, opened it, and ate it in a big gulp.
Yuanxin was very distressed when she looked hungry, "You cook porridge for your sister, and you don't drink a little bit yourself." ”
Ah Yin lowered his head and said, "Auntie will beat me when she sees it." The eldest lady said that my sister is a concubine, and I can't eat the same and wear the same clothes as my sister. ”
"However, your aunt can't treat you as a human being, it's really hateful, I will definitely avenge you." Yuanxin said indignantly.
Later, one day, Mrs. Su went out, Yuanxin and Ah Yin hid in a building, and when Mrs. Su passed by, Yuanxin poured a basin of dirty water down, and Mrs. Su was drenched into a soup chicken, and her body still exuded a sour smell. By the time Mrs. Su came upstairs with a scolding scolding, Yuanxin and Ah Yin had already disappeared.
Yuanxin thought about the interesting things when he was a child, and laughed unconsciously, but a burst of sourness suddenly overflowed his heart and extinguished this innocent and beautiful memory. You once took my hand and said that you want me to protect you for the rest of your life, you once pointed to a gorgeous wedding dress and said, you want to wear it to me, you once said in front of a shop on Tianlu Street, this is your eldest mother's family, and in the future you will definitely buy it and sell it in it. You also pointed to the top of the female official list and said that your name Su Wenyin will definitely appear in this position.
But later, I didn't protect you for the rest of my life, and you couldn't have dressed me in a wedding dress. You didn't buy that shop, and you didn't go to the female exam.
"Call me Yingxun, I hate the past qiē."
"Is that me, too?"
"Including you.
Menghan came to Xia Yin Courtyard, and couldn't find the letter inside and out, so she felt even more sad, and sat in front of the door and cried sadly. Yuanxin came back to his senses when he heard the cry, this kid wondered if his ex-girlfriend would be too engrossed, you sat on the roof and you didn t know if two big living people entered your yard.
Who will cry at the door of my room in the middle of the night, it can't be haunted, is it a person who is afraid of ghosts? Yuanxin came down and took a closer look, and it turned out to be Menghan, "Why are you here?" ”
Menghan saw Yuanxin crying even more, and when he saw someone who could confide in his grievances, he revealed his vulnerability, "Where did you go?" Why did you leave me? ”
Yuanxin helped her up, wiping her endless tears, "I didn't go, I didn't go anywhere, just on the roof." Why are you sitting on the ground, is it cold? ”
Meng Han pouted and complained, "I dreamed that I was killed, and you didn't come to save me." ”
Yuanxin chuckled: "Fool, it's just a dream." Come inside, it's cool outside. ”
"You can't go."
"This is my room, where am I going, if you want me to sleep on the street, I won't go."
